Next Working Day Delivery is NOT available for delivery in the Scottish Highlands or any Off-Shore postcodes i.e Channel Islands, Northern Ireland, Isle of Man, Isle of Wight. All of the above means that Brazil nuts overall can benefit your health in various ways, including thyroid health and heart, brain and immune system function.They are the most concentrated dietary source of Selenium ( which is essential for thyroid function as well as your immune system and anti-inflammatory), as well as being rich in magnesium, copper and zinc. Step 2 Meanwhile make the caramel. In a small-medium, high-sided, heavy-based pan gently heat the sugar, butter, cream of tartar and 75ml water over low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Step 3 Turn up the heat and bubble, swirling the pan occasionally rather than stirring, until the temperature of the mixture reaches 149°C on a sugar thermometer. Remove from the heat. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Lightly oil a 39x35cm/15¼x13¾in baking tray and line with baking parchment. The thing that I love about Brazil nuts is their texture. When you bite into a Brazil nut, it’s got a different texture to most other nuts/seeds. It’s almost like I’m more aware of the Brazil nut oil content and it has an almost buttery consistency – in the best way possible. Which brings me to this delicious homemade Brazil nut butter recipe, as well as the health benefits of Brazil nuts. I’ve even thrown in a couple of cheeky sections for flavoured brazil nut butter options, and Brazil nut butter uses.

Brazil Nuts are a great source of antioxidants, combating damage caused by free radicals with anti-inflammatory properties. Place the toffee-coated Brazils on the baking tray and drizzle over any toffee left in the pan. Leave for an hour to cool and set.Brazil nuts have always been a Christmas nut for me because that’s the time of year I eat them the most. I’m not sure why I don’t utilise them more to be honest since they are delicious. I suggest using a high-speed blender if possible. Otherwise, the process can take quite a bit longer. However, if you do have a relatively mid-level powered food processor/blender, don’t fret! Simply give the nuts longer time to blend, giving the machine a break every couple of minutes. This recipe is, of course, oil-free too! I know that many nut butter recipes include some oil to yield super-smooth results. However, I omit this and spend a little extra time blending them, for the healthiest version. Health Benefits of Brazil Nuts Firstly, did you know that Brazil nuts are technically a seed and not a nut?! – I’ll thank FRIENDS and ‘Doctor Boring’ for giving me that bit of information ( side note – hazelnuts are also a seed !) As with all nut & seed butters, this homemade brazil nut butter works well as a simple spread, within smoothies, stirred into or drizzled over oats, a yoghurt parfait, pancakes and ice-cream. You can also use it to make fun alternatives to these homemade Vegan peanut butter cups. As well as for homemade energy balls, protein bars and other raw treats swap about whatever nut butter you usually use for Brazil nut butter instead.

On the flip side, it’s worth noting that you should eat Brazil nuts in moderation, as a portion size of 50 or more can lead to selenium toxicity, which can cause various serious health issues. I don’t know enough about it to give all the details. However, don’t fear as you definitely won’t ever be eating a portion anywhere near as 50 brazil nuts in one serving with this nut butter, unless you try to eat an entire jar in one sitting ( which I wouldn’t recommend with any nut butter!).

Ingredients

Once the homemade Brazil nut butter is ready, transfer it to an airtight glass container (scraping down the sides) and keep this in the fridge for 2-3 months. It can also be frozen, for longer. Put the sugar thermometer in the pan and bring the mixture up to the boil, without stirring. Carefully let it bubble until the thermometer reaches 130C/266F. (CAUTION: boiling sugar is extremely hot. Handle very carefully. Use a deep pan to avoid bubbling over.)
