About BRAZIL RAW NUTS, BRAZIL
Meijer Brazil Raw Nuts is a single-ingredient nut product sold under the Meijer private label, containing only Brazil nuts (Bertholletia excelsa). Brazil nuts are large tree nuts harvested from wild trees in the Amazon basin, primarily in Brazil, Bolivia, and Peru. They are nutritionally distinctive for their exceptionally high selenium content — a single nut can provide 100% or more of the daily recommended intake of selenium, making Brazil nuts one of the most concentrated dietary selenium sources available. They are also notable for their high fat content, predominantly unsaturated fatty acids.
At 667 calories per 100 grams, Brazil nuts are among the most calorie-dense foods in the nut category. Per 100g: 13.33g protein, 13.33g carbohydrates, 66.67g fat, and 6.7g dietary fiber. The fat content of 66.67g per 100g is very high, though the fatty acid profile includes palmitoleic acid (monounsaturated), oleic acid (monounsaturated), and linoleic acid (polyunsaturated) alongside saturated fats. The carbohydrate content is low at 13.33g per 100g, consistent with tree nuts as a low-carbohydrate food.
Tree nuts are a major allergen, and Brazil nuts specifically are one of the more potent tree nut allergens. Individuals with tree nut allergies should avoid this product. The product is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. It is naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, and soy-free. The raw designation indicates no roasting or oil processing. The single-ingredient, no-additive formulation is the cleanest possible product profile. Due to the extreme selenium density, nutritional authorities generally recommend limiting Brazil nut consumption to 1-3 nuts per day to avoid selenium toxicity.
