ALL THE REASONS WE LOVE BRAZIL NUTS + OUR SUPERFOOD GRANOLA RECIPE BELOW!

SUPPORT IMMUNITY

The outstanding health benefit of brazil nuts is that they are incredibly rich in Selenium. Selenium is a powerful antioxidant that fights against free radicals in the body, protecting against disease and illnesses, reducing inflammation and helping to maintain healthy thyroid function. One serving contains 700% of your daily selenium intake!
NOTE: Brazil nuts are the best way to get our daily requirement of Selenium! No need for supplements - Eating one brazil nut provides you with all the selenium your body needs!

PROMOTE YOUTHFUL, GLOWING SKIN

Brazil nuts are loaded with antioxidants that can reduce fine lines and signs of aging. Vitamins A and E help to increase skin collagen, resulting in a smoother complexion. Selenium speeds up cell turnover and provides your complexion with a natural glow. It also promotes skin health by improving the elasticity of the skin, and reducing redness.

GIVE YOU A PROTEIN BOOST

Brazil nuts are good sources of complete protein, which means they provide all essential amino acids needed for our growth, repair and development.

SUPPORT HEART HEALTH

Brazil nuts are bursting with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, which help to lower cholesterol and prevent cardiovascular and heart disease.
