Saw nuts in shells in coles but they were mostly almonds, hazelnuts some walnuts and very few pecan nuts, NO brazil nuts.

Bought nuts in shells in woolies today because they had brazil nuts in them too and weren't just all almonds and hazelnuts.

I remember reading somewhere that they are rich in nutrients and vitamins especially selenium.

Bought in Coles. Plenty of Brazil nuts.

I also bought the walnuts in shells from Woolies because they were so good last year and very fresh.

Naked nuts or nuts in shells?

I like brazil nuts too.

Love Brazil nuts too. They taste so much better when they come in the shell as do all nuts.

Fresh brazil nuts. Awesome to eat.

I also like cooking Chesnuts in season.

Walnuts are OK, Love Macadamia.

joono,

i just looked at the label and it's the same as yours (bought mine in woolies).

and tried them. they are horrible and old.

the brazil nut was brown and hollow inside, the almond didn't taste like almond but like something eeewww, the walnut was old and the hazelnut old too and made a rattling sound when i shook it while it was still in the shell.

i think i just buy naked nuts again.

never ate such old nuts, they must be from the 90's.

Nuts dont last that long in shells. Rattling nuts is a good way to tell if they have shrunk.

If it is not too far, take them back and get a refund and let them know
Via the web site as well. They should take them off the shelf.

I haven't opened the bag yet. The use by date is end of May next year. I'm sure they will be fine.

Brazil nuts have 100 times the radioactive content than any other foodstuff.

The radioactive content is in the shell mainly.

my name isn't pippy langstockings so i don't need to bother about the shells i guess.

I have 10 Brazil nuts with which I chech the calibration on my Geiger Muller Counter 🙂

Re: RE: Naked Nuts

why don't you eat 100 brazil nuts (including the shells) and then tell us the readings of the different parts of your body compared to the levels in the brazil nuts?

It would be better if they had the date packed date on them. Who knows how long a supermarket thinks nuts stay fresh for.. years by the looks of it.

I bought the worst nuts ever, in shells from WW pre-Christmas about 3 years ago. They were in a round metal tin and most of the lid was clear. Not sure if they country of origin was on the label either.

One of the nuts tasted like petrol. The rest were stale.. I did take them back for a refund.

Never bought nuts in a shell from them again.
