Brazil Nut

Description

Whole Brazil nuts can be eaten raw as a snack or add them to other foods. Brazil nuts are fine to eat raw or roasted.

To cook Brazil nuts on the stovetop:

• Place a layer of Brazil nuts in a skillet over medium heat.
• Stir the nuts every minute or so to avoid burning them.
• Continue cooking for about 5 to 10 minutes until the nuts become aromatic.

To roast Brazil nuts in the oven:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Place the nuts on a layer of parchment paper on a baking sheet.
• Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 5 minutes.
• Remove the baking sheet and stir the nuts.
• Return the baking sheet to the oven for another 5 minutes.
• Remove the nuts from the oven and season them with salt, herbs, or spices.
• Allow the nuts to cool completely before eating them.

Try adding Brazil nuts to pad Thai dishes, trail mixes, or pesto. Alternatively, use chopped Brazil nuts as a nutritious topping for oatmeal, salads, or even brownies
