7.Brazil Nut Butter
These nuts are an excellent source of selenium, which keeps your thyroid gland running, helps your body make genetic material (DNA), and boosts your immune system. It also seems to protect your cells against damaging particles called free radicals. And people who get less selenium may be more likely to get certain types of cancer.
8.Cashew Butter
This one isn’t technically a nut, but the seed of a type of apple. The fruit itself is a highly prized delicacy in the coastal areas of Brazil where it grows. Whether you call it a nut or a seed, it’s a great source of copper, which your body needs to nourish tissues and blood, and produce energy. It may also have antioxidant properties that protect your cells against damage.
