Brazil Nut Tree
It is one of the Amazon’s longest-living trees, often reaching an age of 500 to 1,000 years.
Brazil Nut Pod
The fruit of this majestic tree resembles a large coconut, with woody shells of dark brown colour, and each pod holds 10 to 25 Brazil nuts, which are technically seeds.
Brazil Nut Collection
These fruits are only collected once they are ripe and have fallen to the ground during the rainy season (from December to March) and are hack open with machetes to obtain the in-shell nuts.
