Organic Brazil Nuts are native to South America. The tree is one of the largest trees that grows in the Amazon forest. These Certified Organic Brazil Nuts are sourced from Bolivia.

Organic Brazil nuts are roughly composed of 4% water, 14% protein, 12% carbohydrates and 67% fat. The saturated fat content of Brazil nuts is amongst the highest of all nuts, even greater than macadamia nuts. They are extremely rich in selenium, with one ounce of nuts containing almost 10 times the recommended dietary intake. In fact, Brazil nuts are the food with the highest known source of selenium. The nuts are also a good source of both magnesium and thiamine. 

Brazil Nuts have a delicious rich, creamy flavour and texture. They are the perfect snack either on their own or in a trail mix. They can also be added to muesli or as a topping for smoothie or acai bowls. Brazil Nuts are also great tossed in salads, ground in dips, or chopped in fruit bread. 

We recommend storing nuts well sealed either, in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight or in the fridge (especially for those in warmer climates).

Santos Organics is not your average grocery store; it's a not-for-profit social enterprise and environmental charity. Since 1978, we've pioneered the organic wholefood movement. Our stores serve as community hubs where people connect with our team and fellow community members, sharing a journey toward optimal health and wellness. The palpable sense of community forms part of the social and cultural fabric of the Byron Shire and Northern Rivers. Employing over 70 passionate locals, we support hundreds of local farmers, makers, and artisans, promoting the local economy, building community resilience, and strengthening the local food system. Approximately 75% of the food on our shelves is locally grown, produced, or supplied, nurturing interconnectedness and supporting those passionate about clean, wholesome food and sustainable living.

Santos Organics makes conscious shopping easy by sourcing the best organic food and natural lifestyle products. We invest in ethics research through a dedicated Ethics Specialist position, ensuring our products meet rigorous standards before reaching our shelves. Our Care Check process aligns products with our social impact and environmental goals, providing customers with confidence in their purchases. Our commitment to ethical product procurement extends to partnerships with local farmers through initiatives like the Grow the Growers Project. This project helps local farmers establish pathways to the organic retail market, making fresh, locally grown organic food more available and affordable. By incorporating supply agreements and mutual marketing support, we foster connections between customers and the farmers behind their food.

Santos Organics significantly impacts the local community and economy. Over the last three years, our investments in local employment, goods from local suppliers and distributors, rent, and hiring local tradespeople have retained over $26 million within the Northern Rivers. In the past year alone, $5.3 million was circulated back into the local economy through these efforts, supporting over 100 Northern Rivers-based suppliers and distributors. This investment sustains our community's vitality and unique culture. Employing over 70 local team members ensures money stays within the local economy, enhancing opportunities for community interaction and support. Our local suppliers share our vision of promoting creative, sustainable, and healthy product development, strengthening the reputation of the Byron Bay region as a hub for innovation and sustainability.
