Organic Dry Roasted Hulled Brazil Nuts (Unsalted)

Our organic dry roasted hulled brazil nuts have been roasted without the addition of oil or salt. They have a high proportion of monounsaturated fat, which is a healthy fat. They also contain some protein and offer a good source of important nutrients, including magnesium, zinc, calcium and vitamin E.

Brazil nuts are actually edible seeds from the Brazil nut tree, and they can be eaten raw or blanched. The nuts grow inside a round, coconut-like shell, in orange-like segments that, when split open, reveal about 12-20 Brazil nuts.

Most renowned for their high selenium content, Brazil nuts are actually the richest known food source of this vital nutrient. Selenium is an essential mineral and antioxidant that is required daily to support a healthy immune system. In fact, a single Brazil nut can contain 68-91mcg of selenium, easily meeting the recommended daily allowance of between 60-75mcg.

Locally made in Canada, buying our organic dry roasted hulled brazil nuts encourages local businesses and reduces pollution from long-distance transportation.
