Also known as the Brazil nut, castanha is found deep in the Amazon where it’s treasured as a source of nutrition and a rich resource for beauty benefits. Called the “Queen of the Forest’ by indiginous people, the castanheira is one of the tallest and oldest trees in the Amazon.
Local harvesters travel by river to remote areas where they settle for weeks to collect the castanha nuts. In traditional Amazonian communities, the women press the castanhas by hand and extract the nourishing white milk they produce.
