Brazil nuts are large, creamy nuts native to the Amazon rainforest. They are harvested from the Brazil nut tree, one of the tallest and oldest trees in the Amazon. Each nut is encased in a hard shell and is typically found in large, round seed pods that contain about 12-24 nuts. Brazil nuts are highly nutritious, rich in selenium, healthy fats, and antioxidants, making them a popular choice for a health-conscious snack.
