Brazil nut trees are canopy-dominants that grow to 165 feet and have a life span of several hundred years. Their reproductive biology is extremely specialized and is dependent on a healthy forest ecosystem and its diversity of life. Pollination of this tree is so specialized that Brazil nuts have never been effectively grown in plantations. Metallic-green colored Euglossine orchid bees are required to pollinate Brazil nut flowers. The trees bear grapefruit-sized fruits that remain on the tree for 15 months and contain some 20 seeds (nuts) per fruit.

Brazil nut harvesting offers one the few positive bottom-line economic examples where the density of a renewable natural resource other than timber is sufficient to justify the existence of large, forested areas against unsustainable uses such as cattle ranching. Brazil nuts, which are opened up by harvesters within the primary forest, represent more than half the yearly income for thousands of families in the region, and so far have politically justified the protection of these natural areas. People can actually make a living harvesting these nuts from wild forests – a strong economic reason that keeps the trees standing! Natural Zing supplies its customers with premium quality raw Premium Brazil Nuts, harvested by families in Peru and Bolivia who greatly value and rely on healthy rainforests for their livelihood.

I like to freeze them and eat them right out of the freezer. They are very crunchy and satisfying that way. Just a few of these divine nuts fill the void so that I'm not looking elsewhere and can stay raw. I like to visualize an entire brazil nut tree within one little nut ... because each nut contains that potential.

These Brazil Nuts are truly amazing. When I make brazil nut cheese I don't even add more than kelp and the taste is incredible.
