Organic Brazils Broken 250g

Brazil nut pieces offer the same extraordinary selenium content and rich, creamy flavour as whole brazil nuts, at a lower price — ideal for baking, trail mixes, and granola where smaller pieces are actually preferable. These certified organic broken brazil nuts from Just Natural Organic are roughly broken kernels rather than whole nuts — each piece still delivers a meaningful amount of selenium, magnesium, and Vitamin E.

Broken pieces blend more readily into batters, granola, and nut mixes, and are easier to roughly chop or scatter without requiring any additional preparation. Nutritionally identical to whole brazil nuts.

Certified organic by the Soil Association. Plastic-free, home-compostable packaging. Available in 250g.

Scatter over granola or muesli. Use in nut and seed trail mix. Fold into brownies, flapjacks, or chocolate bark. Blend into energy balls. Mix into breakfast bars. Add to rocky road. Scatter over porridge with honey and cinnamon.

Recipe idea — Brazil Nut Rocky Road: Melt 200g dark chocolate with 50g butter. Stir in 2 tbsp golden syrup. Add 100g digestive biscuits (roughly broken), 80g brazil nut pieces, 50g mini marshmallows, and 50g dried cranberries. Press into a lined tin and refrigerate for 2 hours until set. Cut into bars. A simple, no-bake treat that uses broken pieces to full effect — and provides a welcome selenium boost.

Key nutrients: Selenium (approaching full NRV in just a few pieces), magnesium, phosphorus, thiamine (B1), Vitamin E, and copper. Identical nutritional profile to whole brazil nuts.

Ingredients: Organic Brazil Nut Pieces.

FAQs

Are broken brazil nuts as nutritious as whole ones?
Yes — nutritionally identical. Breaking or cutting does not affect selenium, fat, protein, or mineral content. The only difference is size and shape.

Why choose pieces over whole?
Pieces are better suited to baking, granola, trail mix, and recipes where you want brazil nut flavour and nutrition distributed through the dish rather than in large chunks. They are also lower in price, making them ideal for regular use in everyday baking.

Are these gluten-free?
Yes — brazil nuts are naturally gluten-free. Packed in a facility handling tree nuts, peanuts, sesame, and gluten-containing grains.

How should I store brazil nut pieces?
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Due to their high fat content, refrigeration after opening is recommended. Use within 3 months of opening.

Can I eat brazil nut pieces as a selenium supplement?
Yes — even broken pieces contain selenium. A 30g portion (small handful) of brazil nut pieces will provide a meaningful selenium dose, covering the adult NRV with 3–4 pieces. Just be mindful of not over-consuming; see the whole brazil nut listing for selenium guidance.
