Brazil nuts
Nuts are pretty nuts, right? Different nuts grow in all kinds of different ways, and Brazil nuts are no different. Instead of growing separately on a tree, these nuts are actually grown within a large coconut-type shell on an Amazon nut tree. It’s the job of harvesters and growers to knock down these large coconut-type shells and then open them up.
If they’ve knocked down the right fruit – and not an actual coconut – they will be able to see around 18 – 20 Brazil nuts inside this spherical phenomenon! These Brazil nuts are then dried before they are shipped off and eaten by hungry humans around the world.
