PARÁ NUT AND QUINOA BREAD

The Grão Sabor bread line from Wickbold features Brazil nuts. The Brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa), also known as Amazon nut or Pará nut, is the seed of the Brazil nut tree, a native tree of the Amazon that can reach up to 45 meters in height. The collection of Brazil nuts is a traditional activity carried out by Indigenous and traditional populations during the rainy season in the Amazon. Groups spend many consecutive days in the forest, setting up camp among the trees and patrolling a large area, thus contributing to territorial monitoring while generating income and protecting the territory. With one of the largest marketing volumes in the Amazon, the Brazil nut is a product with great potential to generate income for thousands of Indigenous, quilombola, and traditional producing populations. The Brazil nut, sourced through ethical commercial relationships rooted in transparency, traceability, and guarantee of origin, is a versatile ingredient that can be used for direct consumption, as an ingredient in the food industry, and in the production of various products in the cosmetics industry.
