Brazil Nuts?!


Question: How come you cannot buy these in shells at Christmas anymore, like I used to a few year ago? I can find every other nut in supermarkets etc, apart from Brazil. You can buy them already un-shelled but isn't the the same, and there really expensive.

Brazil nuts?
Mad macadamias?
Whacky walnuts?

Seen them at tescos and morrisons with shells on.And on local market.

Supermarkets aren't the only outlets.

try asda in Rio

traces of a a toxin that can cause liver cancer was found in the shells. Supermarkets are refusing to sell them this year.

My local Wal-Mart has them. I guess your local stores just did not sell enough for them to keep them.

Head into Waitrose they sell them. They have them this year (well they had them on Friday) and have done for the past few weeks. They did the same last year.

They were taken off the shelves a few years back because of a scare over a cancer causing mould. Probably because of some mad scientist or the EU at fault.....

Here is a news story from the BBC http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4065611.st...

It was a cancer linked fungus!!!

Everything is expensive becuase the dollar is taking a dump compaired to the rest of the worlds major currency.

They always have them in the mixed bag of nuts in the shells.

Our local farm shop has them in shells, and our Street market greengrocer was selling them yesterday.
