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.

opposite direction around. Brazil nuts come from the Brazil tree and we've been eating them for 1000's of years.. while the Portuguese arrived in South united statesa., they got here upon them turning out to be there. this is purely by twist of fate that the country did no longer get referred to as Dandelion.

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!!!
