Brazil nuts are a popular and nutritious snack, but there's been some debate around their oxalate content and potential impact on health.

Let's dive into the facts.

Oxalates are naturally occurring compounds found in many plant-based foods, including nuts, seeds, vegetables, and fruits.

While they play a role in plant metabolism, for some individuals, consuming high-oxalate foods can potentially contribute to the formation of kidney stones or interfere with the body's absorption of certain minerals.

So, where do Brazil nuts fit in?

Studies show that Brazil nuts are indeed relatively high in oxalates, containing around 3-4 mg of oxalates per nut. - https://brazilfocusguide.com/blog/are-brazil-nuts-high-in-oxalates/?unique_id_ik5vqvvl
