With Christmas just around the corner, you might want to begin stocking up on some of our Organic Road Brazil Nuts, Raw Cashews and Mixed Nuts because this month they are a huge 20% off!

I love all nuts however I find Brazil nuts are one of my favourites. Brazil nuts are often hailed as the ‘go-to’ when it comes to foods containing selenium. They are great as a snack or if you want to incorporate Brazil nuts in your cooking, below is one of my favourite nut loaf recipes which I have baked for many years. It’s easy and very tasty!

Press the mixture into the baking tin and bake in the oven for approximately 40 minutes. When cooled a little, remove from baking tin and serve with tomato basil sauce.
