Organic Brazil Nut Powder

Organic Brazil nut powder is made from dried and ground Brazil nuts, which grow on large trees native to the Amazon rainforest. The nuts are typically shelled, dried, and then milled into a fine powder. This process preserves the natural flavor and nutritional content of the nuts.

Manufacturers use Brazil nut powder as a source of protein, healthy fats, and a nutty flavor in food products. It's often found in energy bars, baked goods, and protein mixes, where it can also contribute to texture and satiety. Its natural richness makes it a popular ingredient in plant-based foods.

Brazil nuts are a natural food and are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are an excellent source of selenium, a mineral essential for thyroid function and immune health. While beneficial, excessive selenium intake can be harmful, so moderation is key. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated selenium and established guidance on safe intake levels.
