Production & Sourcing
Brazil Nuts – Broken Pieces (Pasteurized) are made through a process that begins with the harvest of whole Brazil nuts. After harvesting, the nuts are carefully shelled to extract the edible kernels. These kernels are then broken into smaller, more manageable pieces, typically through mechanical means. The broken pieces are then subjected to a pasteurization process, which involves exposing them to heat to eliminate any potential pathogens while preserving their natural flavor and nutritional value.
