brazil nuts are mostly exported from bolivia. that's what wikipedia says. take it up with them.

remember how the prizes in cereal boxes were so spectacular that you'd tear open the box and dig in all over with your grubby hands just to find the prize? that's what i do with my nuts.

first. get your mind out of the gutter.

second. i buy like this huge jug of mixed nuts just so that i can eat the brazil nuts. seriously. you can't find brazil nuts shelled deshelled shelled de without shells anywhere.

third. the rest of the nuts just sit there waiting to be picked. i feel bad for them. kinda like the same way i felt bad for myself back when i was in junior high and i'd always be the last one picked for team sports. i hated being a peanut.
