Bertholletia excelsa, commonly known as the Brazil nut tree, is a large tree native to the Amazon rainforest. It can grow up to 50 meters tall and produces large fruits that contain edible seeds, known as Brazil nuts. These nuts are rich in healthy fats, protein, and essential minerals, making them a popular food source. The Brazil nut tree plays a crucial role in its ecosystem, as it relies on specific pollinators, such as certain species of bees, to reproduce. Additionally, the tree's seeds are dispersed by agoutis, a type of rodent, which helps maintain the biodiversity of the rainforest.
