Brazil nut kernels, with skin, 200 g

Brazil nut trees grow wild in the rainforests of Latin America and can grow up to 60 meters tall. Due to the trees' height, the fruits cannot be harvested; instead, harvesters wait until the fruit capsules are ripe and fall to the ground. Each capsule yields an average of 25 seeds, which we call Brazil nuts. The shelled nuts have a mild flavor. The nutritional value of three Brazil nuts is equivalent to that of a steak. While the precious tropical wood of the Brazil nut trees could be sold for a high price, the lucrative nut trade prevents the trees from being cut down.
