Description

Brazilallian nut is one of the most exotic and taste savours in the world. Brazil nuts contain 14% protein, 12% carbohydrate, and 66% fat by weight; 85% of their calories come from fat, and a 100-gram (3¹⁄₂-ounce) amount provides 2,740 kilojoules (656 kilocalories) of food energy. The fat components are 23% saturated, 38% monounsaturated, and 32% polyunsaturated. Due to their high polyunsaturated fat content, primarily omega-6 fatty acids, shelled Brazil nuts may quickly become rancid.
