About Brazil Nuts

Deep in the Amazon rainforest, Brazil nut trees can reach heights of 200 feet and live for over 500 years. These towering trees are crucial for local communities in Bolivia, Peru, and Brazil, providing a vital source of income. The rising demand for Brazil nuts incentivizes rainforest preservation efforts, as thousands of families rely on harvesting these nuts for survival.

  • Enjoyed as a snack, in trail mixes, and used in baking, desserts, puddings, dips, and as cheese toppers.
