Brazil Nut
Brazil Nut
Peruvian Brazil nut, Bertholletia excelsa, is a tropical evergreen in the family Lecythidaceae grown for its edible seeds (nuts). The brazil nut tree is very large with a long straight trunk which is 1–2 m (3.3–6.6 ft) in diameter. The tree only branches in the upper regions and the long branches are covered in large, leathery, oblong shaped leaves which form a spreading canopy. The tree produces large, pale yellow or greenish flowers and a round fruit which is approximately 15 cm (6.0 in) in diameter.
Nutritional Facts
The fruit has a thick hard shell and contains 18 to 24 angular seeds (nuts). The large edible kernel is protected by a thin, woody shell which has a wrinkled appearance. Brazil nut trees can reach a height of 25–56 m (82–184 ft) and can live for well over 500 years. Brazil nut may also be referred to as cream nut or butter nut and originates from the Amazonian rainforest.

Pine nut is a kind of food with a variety of magical effects in the eyes of the ancients, which is naturally labeled “longevity”. Although pine nuts are good, they are not suitable for everyone. Diarrhea and phlegm patients with spleen deficiency had better keep away from pine nuts. Because pine nut oil is big, and belongs to high calorie food (every 100g of pine nut can convert nearly 700kcal of heat in the body), so eating too much will increase the body fat, and the amount of eating pine nut every day should be 20-30g. Pine nuts stored for a long time will produce “oil Hala” flavor, which is not suitable for eating. Loose pine nuts are best placed in sealed containers to prevent oxidation and deterioration of grease.
