In Peru, in-shell Brazil nuts are soaked in water in order to soften the shell. This facilitates cracking of the nut; however, study concluded that this process also contributes to significant contamination. alternative methods are steaming in order to avoid external contamination.

put them in the freezer overnite, then crack with a nut cracker slowly and gently pinching along the ridges.

Small, shallow cracks all over, rather than one big bursting crack.
