Brazilian Nuts Medium Organic

A bounty byte

The Brazilian Brazil nut has a rich creamy flavour similar to the texture of a coconut. Brazil nut trees grow mainly along the banks of the Amazon and bloom during the dry season (basically autumn). The development of the fruit takes 14 months from pollination to a ripe Brazil nut. Brazil nut trees grow up to 50m high and the fruits are quite heavy. If in the rainy season the fruits are ripe, one waits until they fall from the trees so that the harvest only takes place on the ground.
