Cynthia Sass: Brazil nuts are very popular in the US but they should be. Just one whole nut can
supply all the selenium you need for the whole day. Selenium is a key nutrient
that helps boost our immune system and regulate your thyroid functions. And it
also acts as a major antioxidant in the body. Antioxidant are kind of like low
bodyguards that fight the affect of stress and aging to keep your healthy self
healthy and prevent them from becoming damage, keeps your arteries clear open
and flexible as well to reduce the risk of heart disease, heart attack and stroke.
Because of there rich flavor chop brazil nuts can be a substituted for shredded
coconut and just about any of recipe which can help lower the unhealthy saturated
fat contain. I love to eat them whole but one of my favorite recipes is to dust
pilled baby bananas with crash Brazil nuts, wrap them in wax paper and freeze
them. It tastes just like ice cream. I’m Cynthia Sass reminding you to eat your
meal MUFA’s.
