Brazil nuts are suggested by experts as a daily source of antioxidants.




When it comes to oilseeds, many people are still afraid to consume them due to concerns about their high calorie content. However, recent research suggests that this food group, encompassing walnuts, almonds, and chestnuts, can be a valuable asset in promoting both health and weight control.


Additionally, in the same vein, considerable research has been conducted on the role of these nuts in combating obesity. They can be incorporated into daily consumption as small snacks throughout the day, as they possess mechanisms that contribute to enhancing the feeling of satiety and alleviating hunger.


In the realm of oilseeds, none rivals Brazil nuts in selenium content. While scholars note that mineral levels may vary depending on the type of soil, Brazil nuts stand out for their exceptional richness. Just one or two of these nuts are sufficient to meet the daily recommendations for this highly potent antioxidant.
