Harvesting

Organic Brazil nuts are grown in the wild rainforests of the Amazon basin in South America, where towering trees can reach up to 50 meters. These trees produce large, hard-shelled fruits that fall to the forest floor between December and March. Local harvesters, often from indigenous communities, collect the fruits and crack open the shells to reveal the creamy, rich-flavoured nuts inside.

Brazil nuts are packed with healthy fats, protein, and essential minerals such as selenium, magnesium, and copper. Their pale cream colour and smooth, buttery texture make them a unique and nutritious snack. High in selenium, a potent antioxidant, these nuts support immune function and help reduce inflammation, while vitamin E promotes skin health. Grown organically without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, Brazil nuts retain their natural nutritional value, making them a wholesome addition to any diet.

The organic nature of Organic Brazil Nuts means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.
