The healing power of Brazil nuts

The Dutch trading place in Brazilli� was overpowered by the Portuguese army, after which Brazil became Portuguese.
Details Brazil nut tree
-
The Brazil nut tree is a tropical tree native to South America. It can reach a height of 50 meters. It is one of the largest trees in a tropical rainforest and can live to be 500-800 years old. Some Brazil nut trees date from the time when Columbus did not yet discover America. The Brazil nut has an angular, three-sided shell that ends in a point.

Eat up to 6 Brazil nuts in one day
-
When you eat normal amounts of Brazil nuts, there is nothing wrong. You can eat 6 of these nuts 2-3 times a week, but more is not wise. Brazil nuts contain a lot of minerals. The percentage for selenium is staggeringly high. Selenium is just a healthy mineral but like everything else, too much of anything is never good. Normal amounts of selenium can prevent cancer, especially prostate cancer. One ounce of Brazil nuts contains no less than 3,485% of the RDI for selenium. This is so high that 100 grams of Brazil nuts per day should never be eaten, otherwise you could get selenium poisoning

Tips for eating Brazil nuts
-
It is nice to eat them in a nut mix. Brazil nuts can be mixed with a green salad, but you may want to break them first because they can be quite large and a bit hard. The Brazil nut works well in a pesto: mix 6 Brazil nuts and some basil leaves together by mashing it in a mortar. Brazil nuts are excellent for breaking and for use in bread, cakes, biscuits and pies. When you see a ground beef recipe and you want to make a vegetarian version of it, use crumbled Brazil nuts mixed with walnuts, pistachios and sesame seeds.
