Brazil Nuts, are known by many as Para Nuts. They are the seeds of a tropical tree (Bertholletia excelsa) native to the Amazon River basin of South America.
Brazil nuts are unique in that they are the absolute richest known food source of selenium, a very important mineral that's an effective antioxidant. It's estimated that eating just one Brazil Nut a day could prevent selenium deficiency! In addition,Brazil Nuts are a good source of other minerals, to include zinc and magnesium.
The FDA recently approved the following health claim for Brazil Nuts: "Scientific evidence suggests, but does not prove, that eating 1.5 ounces per day of most nuts, such as Brazil Nuts, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease."
