Organic Raw Brazil Nuts - 0.5 lb (8 oz)

Brazil nuts contain more selenium per kernel than any other whole food available. One to three kernels per day covers the selenium requirement for most adults from a single food source. Crop by Pop sources these as USDA Certified Organic, Non-GMO verified, raw, shelled kernels, certified organic by Natural Food Certifiers, and packed fresh in the USA in a resealable bag. Ingredients: Organic Raw Brazil Nuts. Contains: Tree Nuts. Processed in a facility that also processes Peanuts, Tree Nuts, Milk, Soy, and Wheat. Available in five sizes from 8 oz to 5 lb.

What You're Buying

Crop by Pop is the USDA Certified Organic line within the Nut Cravings family. Every product in the range carries USDA Organic certification, Non-GMO verification, and Vegan status as baseline standards applied consistently across every item in the lineup.

USDA Organic certification requires that the growing environment, the harvesting process, and the handling chain meet National Organic Program standards, with annual third-party inspection maintained throughout the certification period. For these brazil nuts, the certification is verified by Natural Food Certifiers, an independent USDA-accredited certifying agent. Non-GMO verification adds a second independent certification alongside the USDA Organic status. Both credentials sit on this product as verified standards confirmed through documented inspection, not marketing claims.

The selenium content of brazil nuts is the defining nutritional fact of this product. One medium-to-large raw brazil nut kernel contains approximately 68 to 91 micrograms of selenium, depending on growing conditions. The recommended daily value for selenium for most adults is 55 micrograms. One to three kernels per day therefore covers the daily selenium requirement from a single food source, which no other common nut or seed can claim.

Important: Selenium Upper Limit and Serving Guidance. The Tolerable Upper Intake Level for selenium is 400 micrograms per day for adults. A full one-ounce serving of brazil nuts, approximately 6 to 8 kernels, can approach or exceed this threshold depending on kernel size and growing conditions. One to three kernels per day is the appropriate daily serving. Brazil nuts are not a nut to eat by the handful the way cashews or almonds are. Chronic selenium overconsumption (selenosis) produces symptoms including brittle hair and nails, hair loss, nail discoloration, nausea, and fatigue. These effects result from consistently high intake over weeks or months, not from occasionally eating a few extra kernels. Staying within one to three kernels daily as a consistent habit keeps selenium intake within safe limits for most healthy adults. People with thyroid conditions or pre-existing selenium-related health concerns should consult their healthcare provider before adding brazil nuts as a daily dietary element.

How to Use Organic Raw Brazil Nuts

Daily Selenium Routine

The simplest use: one to two kernels eaten whole each morning alongside breakfast. No preparation, no recipe, no additional steps. At that serving size, the kernel delivers its selenium content in approximately three seconds of eating. Most people who use brazil nuts this way keep the resealable bag on the kitchen counter alongside their morning supplements or breakfast preparation area.

Oatmeal and Yogurt

Two to three kernels roughly chopped and stirred into warm oatmeal or layered over yogurt with fruit and honey. The creamy texture of raw brazil nuts integrates cleanly into both formats and adds fat content that slows glucose release from surrounding carbohydrates and fruit sugars.

Smoothies and Blending

One to two kernels added to a morning smoothie before blending. The soft, fatty texture of raw brazil nuts blends smoothly without requiring soaking in advance. The mild flavor does not compete with fruit, greens, or protein powder in the same blend, making brazil nuts the easiest nut to incorporate into smoothie routines without changing the overall flavor profile.

Mixed Nut Snacking

One or two kernels added to a daily mixed nut portion alongside almonds, walnuts, and cashews as the selenium-specific component of a broader nut snacking routine. Adding brazil nuts within a mixed handful provides the selenium contribution without putting brazil nuts at the center of the serving quantity.

Brazil Nut Butter

Blended in a food processor alongside other raw nuts to produce a mixed nut butter. Brazil nuts contribute creaminess and a mild, slightly sweet flavor to blended nut butters. Keep the brazil nut proportion moderate within the blend to ensure the daily nut butter serving does not deliver excessive selenium from the brazil nut component.

Choosing the Right Size

At the one-to-three-kernel daily serving, brazil nuts last significantly longer per bag weight than higher-daily-serving nuts. The 8 oz bag contains approximately 35 to 45 kernels, providing five to six weeks of daily use at two kernels per day. The 8 oz starting size suits first-time buyers who want to assess the flavor and establish the daily habit before committing to a larger quantity.

The 1 lb bag extends daily use to three to four months at the same pace. The 2 lb, 3 lb, and 5 lb options reduce the per-ounce cost meaningfully and suit buyers who have established brazil nuts as a consistent daily routine and prefer to minimize restocking frequency. All five sizes are packed in the same resealable bag format.

Storage

Brazil nuts are high in polyunsaturated fats that oxidize faster than monounsaturated fats when exposed to heat, light, and air over time. Press the resealable bag seal closed after removing each day's portion and store away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

• Room temperature, sealed resealable bag, away from heat and sunlight: up to 4 weeks of peak freshness.
• Refrigerated in the sealed bag: 2 to 3 months.
• Frozen in an airtight container: up to 12 months with no significant flavor or texture change. Brazil nut kernels thaw at room temperature in minutes.

For the 3 lb and 5 lb sizes: divide on arrival and freeze the bulk portion. Pull a small working quantity into the pantry for daily use and return the remainder to the freezer.
