Meridian Brazil Nut Butter

Brazil nut butter is valued for its nutritional value - it contains an average of 18% protein, less than 3% sugars and fats, of which 25% is saturated fat (most of all nuts), 34% monounsaturated fatty acids and 41% fatty acids polyunsaturated. Brazil nuts are a great source of selenium, magnesium and thiamine - they contain 2500 times more selenium than other nuts, already 2 nuts per day to cover the total demand of the body to protect against heart disease and a strong antioxidant. 100g of Brazilian nut butter covers 24% of daily requirement for biotin, 112% of phosphorus requirement, over daily dose of magnesium and nearly 20% of daily iron requirement.

Compared to other nutmeg butter, Brazil nut butter contains very little carbohydrates, including in particular sugar - less than 3g in 100g of butter. Gentle cream taste of Brazilian nuts perfectly blends with apple, creating a natural, healthy snack. Nuts on the butter are first roasted and then ground with grits, which allows them to be extracted with full flavor and aroma.

Brazil nuts are also found in Brazil, but also in Venezuela, Colombia, Bolivia and Peru. They grow primarily in forests along the Amazon, Rio Negro and Orinoco. Unlike many other nuts, Brazil nuts are very large - they hide hard pods similar to coconut shells, each pod is about 10-25 nuts. Brazil nuts are one of the few nuts that grow mainly in their natural environment, not in plantations.
