Brazil nuts are delicious, and they are a staple in high end mixed nut assortments. They’re quite remarkable and exotic. The brazil nut tree is grown in Brazil (of course) and other areas of South America, and it’s one of the largest trees in the Amazon rainforest. It can live for an amzing 500 years or more, reaching up to 160 feet tall. The fruit containing the coveted nuts is so large and heavy, if it drops on you while you’re walking under it, the effect is like getting hit with a cannonball!The Body Shop, known for using locally sourced and Community Trade ingredients, harvests brazil nuts for a collection that has been brought back by popular demand, called: “Brazil Nuts.
