Nuts
Oil
Brazil nut oil is a specialty finishing fat pressed from high-oil Amazon kernels. Cold- pressed bottles taste creamier; refined styles are quieter. Use as a drizzle or gentle brush fat—deep frying turns it bitter. Buy small dark bottles, keep cool, recap hard. Varnish smell means discard. Tree-nut oil; selenium stories belong more to whole kernels than pure fat, but allergen labelling still applies.
