Brazil nuts are particularly healthy due to their high selenium content, which makes their protein content "complete". This means that, unlike the proteins in most plant products, Brazil nuts' proteins contain all the necessary amino acids to foster optimal growth in humans (in the same way as proteins from animal products do).
Selenium is also a powerful antioxidant linked to lower rates of cancer and heart disease. Brazil nuts are also a very good source of zinc which is essential to digestion and metabolism.
Did you know....
Than brazil nuts grow in tropical South America inside hard, woody coconut-sized shells that weigh about 5 pounds each and contain 15 to 25 nuts!
Fast shipping. Wonderful products. Great Communication. We will definately order again!!

I needed Brazil Nuts. Quickly. Of course, unless you hop around town picking them out of bar nut mixes, it's pretty hard to find this nut, since no one really likes eating them. If I had been in the city, I'd try a specialty store like Kalustyans, where, for $10.99 I could pick up a pound of them. But since I'm in my little out-of-town baking retreat, and a recipe for chocolate chip cookies using ground Brazil Nuts was coming up in the queue, I needed to act quickly.
Google pulled up J&D Fine Foods and I pulled the trigger on two pounds of Brazil Nuts for $4.98/pound. I was pleased with the price. The shipping was either $6 for "ground" up to $31.75 for next day. Ouch. I decided to risk it with ground and hope my nuts made it by Friday.
This morning, UPS arrived with a very neatly packed box from Brooklyn. I couldn't believe it.
Next time I need any hard-to-find nut or dried fruit (pitted dates are $3.99/pound!), I'll pull up J&D Fine Foods and look forward to seeing my friendly neighborhood UPS man before I can say Brazil Nut.

I first tried the product to get a better quality product than available locally. I have not been disappointed...the product is excellent. People who share the product I have purchased have all asked where I get the nuts, and have asked me to get more of the same which I am happy to do. Keep up the good work.

Your website was quick and easy to use! It made it so simple to send a gift to my mom in Montana. She loves Brazil nuts! ...you just can't get a can of only those, you have to buy the mixed nuts. She will love it!

My husband loves nuts but when we buy the mixed in the store cans they hardly have any of his favorites..brazil nuts. I decided to try to find him brazil nuts for fathers day as a surprise. I called your customer service to ask if they were salted, and they weren't, but you salted them for me anyway. They were super nice. He truly LOVED them. I got 2 pounds and he finished them off over two weeks ago. Will definetly be ordering more, and some cashews for me. Fast shipping too. Thanks for making this fathers day
memorable, he was so surprised.
