Researchers from the German Max Planck Institutes of Geoanthropology and Biology Tübingen use genomic data to study the decline in genetic diversity in the Amazon Basin, particularly in Brazil Nut ...

Three additional expeditions to the Jari Valley on the border between the states of Amapá and Pará reached several other giant trees, including the tallest Brazil nut tree ever recorded in the ...

the researchers comprehensively analysed total sequence variants of 270 Brazil Nut tree samples with known archaeological evidence at different locations to reveal insights into genetic structure ...

She was already aware that she was severely allergic to Brazil nuts, a type of tree nut, but it was unclear what triggered her allergic reaction in this instance. She noted that her partner had ...

José Francisco Conceição started harvesting Brazil nuts on his small family plot in the Amazon forest 32 years ago. It wasn’t until a few months ago that he actually made enough of a profit from his ...

However, it doesn’t get back to all of the buried seeds, and after 12 to 18 months of germination, these might sprout into the beginnings of a new Brazil nut tree, a species that can grow to a ...

What Are Brazil Nuts? Brazil nuts are seeds from the Brazil nut tree, which is among the tallest trees in the Amazon rainforest. Encased in a hard, woody shell, these seeds are often referred to ...

Commercial supplies of Brazil nuts are still derived entirely from wild trees though there are concerns that they're being harvested too intensively. Brazil nuts can be eaten raw or used in cooking.

Using advanced genomic techniques, the researchers comprehensively analysed total sequence variants of 270 Brazil Nut tree samples with known archaeological evidence at different locations to ...
