Nutlore Brazil Nuts – 250 g

About Brazil Nuts

Brazil nuts cannot be farmed at scale; the tree depends on a specific orchid bee and an agouti to reproduce, so every kernel is gathered from standing rainforest. Nutlore buys from Bolivian and Peruvian cooperatives where wild collection is the household’s main cash income.

Rich, milky and faintly earthy, with a dense fibrous crunch that fills the mouth. Shelled soon after collection, then dried to below 4% moisture – the single most important control against mould in this species.

What Makes This Lot Different

• Wild harvested from standing Amazon forest, never plantation grown
• Sourced through cooperatives that pay collectors directly
• Dried to strict moisture limits and aflatoxin tested before dispatch
• The most concentrated natural food source of selenium on earth
• Raw and unsalted for use in both sweet and savoury cooking

Nutritional Benefits

• A single kernel supplies more than a full day’s selenium requirement
• Selenium is essential for thyroid hormone conversion and antioxidant enzymes
• Supports normal sperm formation, a recognised selenium function
• Supplies magnesium in a form that pairs well with post workout recovery
• Ellagic acid content has been studied for its anti-inflammatory activity

Nutrition Information (per 100 g)

Values are typical and may vary naturally with crop, season and harvest lot.

Ways to Use

• Eat one or two kernels daily – more is unnecessary given the selenium density
• Grate over pasta as a dairy free substitute for parmesan
• Blend into the creamiest of the nut milks, no strainer needed
• Chop into granola clusters with jaggery and oats
