Brazil nuts, formerly known as cream nuts and Para nuts, are the large extremely hard-shelled seeds of the Brazil nut tree. The Brazil tree is a beautiful giant evergreen indigenous to the Amazon forests of South America. The tree itself is a very long and straight trunk that only will branch in the uppermost part. Brazil nut trees can exceed heights of one hundred fifty feet with a trunk diameter of up to eight feet. The crown of the tree spreads out to a breadth of one hundred feet or more towering over other tropical vegetation. The tree produces large, glossy, deeply ribbed green leaves that can be as long as fifteen inches and as wide as six inches. The end of the branches, produce large pale yellow flowers. The tree produces large spherical fruits that resemble coconuts. They take about fourteen months to mature and are four to six inches in diameter and weigh about four pounds each.
Inside the fragile outer shell of the fruit is a tough and fibrous inner shell about one quarter of an inch thick, which contains about twelve to twenty-four Brazil nuts closely packed together. When the large fruits ripen they fall to the ground. Falling from a height of one hundred fifty feet makes for dangerous collection. Especially on windy and rainy days. One must be careful to make sure no fruits come crashing on their head.
Almost all Brazil nuts come from wild trees scattered throughout the Amazon Basin in a huge area over a million and a quarter square miles. They cover about forty percent of Brazil as well as parts of five other neighboring countries. The trees grow best in deep well drained, alluvial soils on high ground not subject to flooding. They frequently grow in groups of six or more. While most of the Brazil nut production comes from Brazil there is production in Bolivia, Peru, Columbia, the Guianas, and Venezuela.
A mature tree can produce between two hundred and fifty to five hundred pounds of unshelled nuts a year. A good crop yield in one year usually means a lesser crop the following year. Nuts are harvested from an estimated 250,000 to 400,000 trees yearly. However, there are hundreds of thousands of out of sight trees from which nuts are never collected. Consequently, every year thousands of tons of Brazil nuts are not harvested by man, but just fall to the floor of the jungle to be consumed by monkeys or other animals. There have been efforts to establish Brazil nut plantations, but the results have been unsuccessful at best.
The Brail nut has always been an important crop to the Amazon region dating back to the early 1800’s. It wasn’t however, until 1910 that they became a vital crop. The rubber market collapsed in 1910, thus making these nuts the most vital crop of the Amazon region. The first official United States custom entry of Brazil nuts was recorded in 1873. Since then, these have been a very important import for the United States.
Shelling of Brazil nuts is much easier than harder-shelled nuts such as macadamia nuts
Today, the very nutritious Brazil nuts are eaten raw, roasted, salted in ice cream and in bakery confections. They remain an important ingredient in shelled nut mixtures. Their high concentration of selenium make these one of the health nuts of choice.
We also offer Wholesale Brazil Nuts.

| "My husband loves to eat nuts of all kinds for the protein and the kids love nuts to snack on. One of our favorites
is the Brazil nuts, well you can't find them alone in the stores, so we went online and I came across NUTSOnline, what a wonderful place, we not only ordered 5lbs of Brazils, but we also ordered Dark Chocolate covered brazils, oh my goodness!! Well when we ordered the chocolate, it was 3000 degrees in New Jersey and Iowa. They not only emailed me about the chocolate, because it was going to be the weekend they didn't want my chocolate sitting in a delivery warehouse and melting!! The customer service emails were very personable and not only answered right away, when I sent a reply question the items did come when it cooled down a bit, everything was wonderful and tasty!
The prices on items was also very tasty!!!
Oh we also ordered the African Blend Coffee beans!! YUMMY!!!

| "Brazil nuts did indeed arrive. Sampled some last night, they are wonderful. Fresh and very tasty. Thanks for the quick shipping. Will feast on this order for awhile and will order more soon. Peace." |
| -- Richard G. Caswell, Houston, Texas |
| "Hey Nutsonline, Yes I did receive the Brazil Nuts I ordered. I am over joyed to have found a place where I can get my most favorite nut. In the past it was only in mixed nuts that I could have access to them or during the holidays when I could buy them in the shell at the local market. I do enjoy mixed nuts but I do not like Cashews. So I was really getting tired of buying something that had more of what I did not want and less of what I did. If you ever come up with a mix nut package that does not include Cashews I would be very interested. Oh, by the way the nuts are excellent and I look forward to my next order. Thanks!!!!" |
| -- Peter, Corona, CA |
