Our Brazil nuts are fresh and so rich in flavor that snacking on them just whole, plain and raw will be a highlight of your day, it is for us šŸ˜‰! But they are different creative ways to incorporate this mineral dense nut in your diet, one of our favorites is the Brazil Nut Milk, that we share today with you.

More andĀ more, people are turning to plant-based milk options due to the inflammation and other characteristics of the animal derived counterpart. However, some of the options available are often watery and far from that texture we look in a milk for our coffee, cereal or to just grab a glass of creamy, delicious and nutritious beverage. This is what you get when you use Brazil nuts for milk and add to that the high anti-inflammatory properties from the nutā€™s antioxidants.
