High in protein and essential fats, brazil nuts are technically a seed from a fruiting tree. Nutritionally, an excellent source of dietary fibre and various vitamins; thiamin, Vitamin E, and minerals; magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, zinc. Brazil nuts are perhaps the richest dietary source of selenium, an important cofactor for the antioxidant enzyme, glutathione peroxidase, important in both brain and liver health.
Lightly salted and in the oven on low temp for a short time, none of the benefits are lost.
