The crunchy Brazil nuts originally come from Brazil, where the nuts also get their name from. The Brazil nut tree can grow up to 50 metre and thrives only in the remaining flourishing areas of the rain forest in South America. Brazil nuts are exported to Europe already since the 17th century. Ever after they have become indispensable for the modern, healthy cuisine. This is due to several reasons:
The ingredients of Brazil nuts
Brazil nuts are as part of a balanced diet a source of nutrients, especially of vitamins E and B1. Vitamin B1, also known as thiamine control energy metabolism and help maintain normal heart function and supports the nervous system function. Vitamin E protects cells against oxidative stress. And what was selenium again?

Why is the price fluctuating?
Most annual product crops have an impact on the relationship between supply and demand in the market. In the event of a bad harvest, we must also pay a higher price for raw materials. Due to the strong impact of external factors such as wind, weather, climate and natural events on the harvest, we are refusing long-term cross-harvest contracts with our producers. -
