Brazil Nut Butter

Brazil Nut Butter

Brazil nut butter is simply one of the simplest Nut Butters to make, where in most cases, fresh organic raw Brazil Nuts are ground down and then cooled at a significant low temperatures; 3 times over. Brazil nut butter is an excellent alternative to those regular brands of Jams & Spreads as it's rich in nutrients such as Selenium, Magnesium, Phosphorus and Thiamin.

Why are Brazil nuts so expensive?

Brazil nuts have been in low supply for a fair few years, which has led to higher costs. A major factor in the shortage of Brazil nuts now can be attributed to a particularly low harvest season South America had back in 2017. Another reason why Brazil nuts are so expensive is that they naturally hold a lot of nutritional value. They have a low GI (glycemic-index), are Cholesterol & Gluten Free, and are a good source of protein, fibre, Vitamins and Minerals.

How many Brazil nuts are safe to eat a day?

Though Brazil nuts offer various health benefits (reduced inflammation, improved thyroid function & heart health) consuming too many can cause selenium toxicity. With this in mind, it is regarded to limit ones' intake of Brazil nuts to 1-3 per day.
