Frequently Asked Questions (Google's Top Searches)
Why are the best Brazil Nuts sourced from Bolivia?
Despite their name, Bolivia is actually the world's leading exporter of wild Brazil nuts. The wild nuts gathered in the Bolivian Amazon (Pando and Beni regions) are world-renowned for their exceptional size, creamy texture, and sustainable harvesting practices that protect wild forest reserves.
How many Brazil nuts should you eat a day?
Due to their exceptionally high selenium content, health experts recommend eating 1 to 3 Brazil nuts per day. This amount provides a safe, optimal daily dose of natural selenium without risk of selenium toxicity (selenosis).
What are the main health benefits of Brazil nuts?
-
Thyroid Support: Selenium is critical for producing and regulating essential thyroid hormones.
-
Potent Antioxidants: Rich in Vitamin E and polyphenols that combat oxidative stress.
-
Heart & Metabolic Health: Contains healthy monounsaturated fatty acids that help maintain cholesterol levels already within normal limits.
Can you eat raw Brazil nuts with the skin on?
Yes! The thin, brown papery skin remaining on raw shelled Brazil nut kernels is completely edible, rich in antioxidant compounds, and adds a slight earthy crunch.
Are Bolivia Brazil nuts vegan and keto-friendly?
Yes. Whole raw Brazil nuts are 100% plant-based, raw, vegan, naturally gluten-free, non-GMO, and ultra low-carb—making them a perfect nutrient-dense snack for Keto, Paleo, and Mediterranean diets.
How should raw Brazil nuts be stored?
Because raw Brazil nuts have a high healthy oil content, exposure to air, heat, and light can shorten their shelf life. Store them in an airtight container or sealable bag in a cool, dark pantry for up to 3 months. For maximum freshness and crunch, keep them in the refrigerator or freezer for up to 12 months.
