Common questions
How many Brazil nuts do I need for my daily selenium?+
Brazil nuts are exceptionally high in selenium, and just one or two nuts can provide your entire recommended daily intake of this essential trace mineral. Selenium supports thyroid function, immune defence and the protection of cells from oxidative damage.
What other nutrients do Brazil nuts contain?+
Beyond selenium, they are a valuable source of healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, magnesium, zinc and vitamin E, making them a well-rounded addition to a balanced diet.
How should I store Brazil nuts?+
Keep them in a cool, dry place or refrigerated, ideally in an airtight container. Their high natural oil content means they can turn rancid if exposed to heat or light for extended periods.
How can I use Brazil nuts in my kitchen?+
Enjoy them straight from the bag as a snack, chop them into salads or grain bowls for crunch, blend them into smoothies or homemade nut butters, or use them in baking like cookies and brownies. The 500g pack suits households that regularly include nuts in their meal planning.
Product details
Brazil nuts, 500 g, from the Bertholletia excelsa trees of the South American rainforest. Rich, creamy, buttery — and the most selenium-dense nut on the shelf, which is worth knowing before you eat them by the handful.
What they are
Whole Brazil nuts. A 500 g bag — enough for a household that keeps nuts in the cupboard rather than buys them for one recipe.
They also carry monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, magnesium, zinc and vitamin E.
How to eat them
Straight, chopped into a salad or a grain bowl, blended into a smoothie or a nut butter, or baked into cookies and brownies.
A note on quantity. Brazil nuts carry far more selenium than other nuts, and selenium is a trace mineral with an upper limit — more is not better. If you plan to eat them every day, ask a consultant or your doctor how many is sensible for you.
What is in it
Brazil nuts (Bertholletia excelsa). 500 g.
Contains tree nuts.
Before you buy
Nuts this high in natural oil turn rancid if they are kept warm or in the light. Store them in an airtight container somewhere cool and dark, or in the fridge.
