Brazil Nuts, Organic, Raw, (5lbs)
Organic Brazil nuts are a great healthy snack and are shelled for easy consumption. A large hearty nut, Brazil nuts provide key nutrients to any diet. They are rich in proteins, dietary fiber, fats, thiamin, vitamin E, phosphorus, and are possibly the richest dietary source of selenium. Their light and crisp texture makes them an excellent addition to your own nut mixes or perfect for a stand-alone snack. Brazil nut trees are among the largest trees in the Amazon rainforests and may live for 500 years or more. Save the rainforests and eat Raw Brazil Nuts!
Selenium is an important nutrient that you hear very little about but is big in keeping us healthy. Everyone needs this mineral which is a huge anti oxidant that supports the immune system and in studies has been shown to help prevent cancer.
Too little selenium can have some of these common symptoms: Nail Discoloration, Very Fatigued, Shedding a lot of hair, Brain Fog, Thyroid issues, Fertility problems, Worsening Asthma and Frequent sickness. Certainly there can be other causes to these symptoms but it wouldn’t hurt to think about how much selenium is in your diet on a regular basis.
