PantryPic #049: Brazil Nuts

-Organic Brazil Nuts.
-High in healthy fat, without excessive protein
(key component of a Ketogenic diet).
-Excellent source of selenium, a powerful antioxidant-boosting mineral that may help prevent cancer and chronic disease
(selenium is an antagonist to mercury).
-Loaded with Zinc to help boost the immune system, mood, and improve sleep.
-Can stimulate recovery, improve digestion, balance hormones, boost heart health, help skin and reduce signs of aging.

Great eaten whole as a snack or in Salads.
-Limit serving size to avoid excess selenium (and Brazil Nuts can contain small amounts of radium).
-If shelled, be sure to use quickly since they rancidify easily.
-Best to store in an air-tight container in the fridge.
