Known Benefits
Although natural brazil nuts are high in calories, they contain good quantities of vitamins, anti-oxidants and minerals. Furthermore, they are especially rich in selenium, which is a mineral that aids in the production of the anti-oxidant, glutathione, that helps to slow down the skin aging process.

The nuts have been a staple diet of the Amazonians who are known to live a long and healthy life.
