Brazil nuts are keto-friendly: very low net carbs (~4–5g/100g) and rich in healthy fats. They’re a selenium powerhouse—enjoy tiny portions (1–3 nuts/day) for nutrients without overshooting calories or selenium.

WHY IT'S KETO-FRIENDLY
- Low net carbs (~4–5g/100g) fit strict keto macros
- Very high fat (predominantly monounsaturated) supports ketosis
- Naturally satiating—tiny servings curb hunger
- Extremely nutrient-dense; a few nuts deliver meaningful micronutrients
- Portable, no-prep snack or crunchy topper
- Works well as a garnish to boost fat without adding many carbs
PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS
SMALL DAILY PORTION
Have 1–3 nuts as a concentrated micronutrient ‘supplement’ rather than a handful snack.
BRAZIL NUT BUTTER
Blend roasted nuts with a pinch of salt for a rich, selenium-packed nut butter (use by the teaspoon).
TRAIL MIX COMPONENT
Combine a few Brazil nuts with Macadamia Nuts and Pecans for a premium keto trail mix.
ROASTED SEASONED
Lightly roast with sea salt and rosemary for a fragrant, savory bite.
SALAD TOPPING
Rough-chop 1–2 nuts over leafy greens with Olive Oil vinaigrette for crunch and micronutrients.
SMOOTHIE INGREDIENT
Blend 2–3 nuts into a shake with Almond Milk (Unsweetened) for creaminess and minerals.
