With the corona virus pandemic, which affected the world and caused the death of thousands of people, the importance of healthy foods has increased. With the pandemic process, healthy foods were replaced by technological devices that were once the favorite of the world market. Food Engineer Selin Tok of Ufresh company, which is among the leading companies of the country in the nuts sector, said, “After the pandemic process, the importance of health and healthy food took precedence over everything. People started to meet their selenium needs from walnuts, ”he said.

Food Engineer of Ufresh Company, Selin Tok, who gave information about the reasons why this variety of nuts, which has recently become increasingly popular, is getting so much demand, "Nowadays, with the increase of the importance and awareness of healthy nutrition, the conscious people who consume it by looking at the values ​​of the foods are increasing rapidly. Products containing rare valuable minerals such as Brazilian Walnut are preferred. The Brazilian Walnut in our Ufresh product range is rich in nutritional values ​​and is known as a source of selenium. There is 1917 mcg of selenium in 100g. It also contains plenty of E and B vitamins, as well as magnesium, calcium, zinc and healthy unsaturated fat. Experts do not recommend consumption of high amounts, as 5-6 pieces of Brazil walnut will provide enough selenium per day for a healthy immune system and cell renewal, as excess selenium storage may harm the body. Thanks to ellagic acid, one of the antioxidants it contains, it protects the nerves and strengthens the brain. Like the walnut that grows in our country, Brazil nut is one of the beneficial foods for the brain.
