Brazil Nut Milk

Brazil nut milk begins in the Amazon, where the towering trees can live for centuries and stubbornly resist plantation farming: almost every Brazil nut is still gathered wild from the forest floor in Bolivia, Brazil and Peru. That makes the harvest a rare bit of commerce that depends on keeping rainforest standing, and it supports thousands of forest communities. The milk itself is rich, creamy and subtly earthy with a clean mineral edge, and it inherits the nut's famous selenium content — a little goes a long way. It's still a small-batch speciality, made fresh by local producers rather than global brands. Use it in smoothies, golden milk and coffee, or anywhere you want gentle creaminess.
