Why Brazilnuts?

Brazil nuts are commonly eaten raw or blanched and are high in protein, fibre, selenium, thiamine, copper and magnesium — and in addition to being the best selenium food source in the world. The thyroid gland has more selenium content than any other organ in the body.

Selenium is an important component of molecules that help your body create and use thyroid hormones. Individuals with thyroid problems could increase their selenium intake through Brazil nut supplementation which had also resulted in improved thyroid functioning.

Brazil nuts are good sources of both soluble and insoluble fibres. While the former helps food move through the digestive tract, the latter helps in bowel movement.
