The Brazilian nut is the largest nut. Its tree can grow up to more than 40 metres, and produces dark brown spherical fruits similar to coconuts, with a hard woody texture.
You can find it in the Amazon forests in Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, Venezuela, and Brazil.
During centuries, its fruit was essential for the indigenous tribes, raw or mixed with roots like “Leite de Castanha”.
The first European importers of this product were Dutch merchants at the start of the 17th century.
