Brazil Nut

Brazil Nut refers to a large, edible seed produced by the Brazil nut tree (Bertholletia excelsa), native to the Amazon rainforest. These nuts grow in large capsules containing multiple seeds, which are harvested for their rich, creamy flesh and high oil content. They are valued for their nutritional benefits, including healthy fats, selenium, and protein. Brazil Nuts are often enjoyed as snacks, used in cooking, or processed into oil. Their significance extends beyond nutrition, as they play a vital role in the ecosystem and local economies of the Amazon region.
