Brazil Nuts

Brazil Nuts

Brazil nuts are an excellent source of complete protein and omega-6 fatty acids as well as vitamins E & B-complex and minerals such as selenium, zinc, and manganese. They are a gluten-free food and are often used as alternative to wheat for those who suffer with celiac disease. Brazil nuts are known to help lower LDL “bad cholesterol” and increase HDL “good” cholesterol in the blood which can help to reduce the risk of strokes and heart disease. 

They are also the highest natural source of selenium which makes it an ideal food for strengthening the immune system and helping to reduce the risk of breast, esophageal, liver, stomach, prostate, and colon cancers. Selenium is also vital for thyroid gland function and for helping to prevent blood clotting and coronary artery disease. Brazil nuts are the perfect food for athletes and those looking to increase strength and endurance. They are also good for neurological and cognitive health as they can help to improve memory and nerve function. 

Brazil nuts are crunchy and sweet and are a concentrated source of nutrition and energy. In fact, only 2-4 nuts a day are needed to obtain all their complete nutritional and health benefits. Consider chopping them up and sprinkling over a salad with a squeeze of fresh lemon and fresh herbs or adding a few to a smoothie or trail mix. 

Brazil nut oil has been used for thousands of years as a therapeutic remedy for skin problems such as dry cracked skin, calluses, rashes, burns, bruises, eczema, and psoriasis. Brazil nut oil is also often used as a carrier or base oil for aromatherapy and massage therapy applications. Brazil nuts can be found online or at your local health food store.
