About this product
Brazil nuts are the heavyweights of the bowl. Long, pale and generously sized, they have a dense, creamy bite and a rich, milky flavour that feels almost indulgent for something so plain.
Their size makes them easy to spot in a mix, and just as easy to use on their own. Slice them thinly over a salad, chop them for a crumble, or shave them with a vegetable peeler to make curls for desserts. A quick toast in the oven brings out a gentle sweetness.
We pack these shelled and unsalted, with no oils or coatings. Expect a few differences in shape from nut to nut, which is just nature being nature. The texture is firm at first and then almost soft as you chew, quite unlike a crisp almond or a crumbly pecan.
Because Brazil nuts are so oily, they are best bought in modest amounts and eaten within a reasonable time. Our guide to storing nuts so they stay fresh has all the tips you need, and our post on why nuts go rancid explains the science.
