Enjoy Brazil nuts straight from the pack or combine them with almonds, cashews, dried fruit and seeds to create your own trail mix or mixed nut blend.

Roughly chop them and add to brownies, cakes, biscuits, homemade chocolate, granola or muesli for extra flavour and crunch. Their creamy texture also makes Brazil nuts useful for homemade nut butter, bliss balls and plant-based nut milk. Add Crunch to Savoury Dishes Brazil nuts aren't only for sweet recipes.

Chop and sprinkle them over salads, grain bowls or roasted vegetables, or blend them with herbs, garlic, olive oil and cheese to make a rich alternative to traditional pesto. SpicenEasy's current product page includes a Brazil nut pesto recipe using basil, garlic, Parmesan, olive oil and lemon.
