So the question is, what has COVID19 done to this work environment?
NEWS FLASH: This just in... most people don't care about being politically correct, additionally most of those whom political correct people are trying not to offend are not offended. Political correctness is EVIL disguised as good manners. Don't be EVIL, don't be politically correct. Now we go back to our regular programming, thank you.
Brazil is named after the nut not the other way around.
Those are some giant piles of nuts. There’s like a brazilian of them.
hahahahaha.
thank you.
🤣
or a Bolivian... think I might use that one just to get bullied
Comment of the decade. 🤣
Lol.....love it.
Never again will I complain about the price of Brazil Nuts.
Right? Even in Bolivia these things were quite expensive.
They are pretty cheap in northern Brasil.
They are so much more delicious when they are fresh.
Timothy Greer Agree. Love Brazil nuts. Grew up with them as a special Christmas treat I Norway. Here in the USA they are pretty spendy, and, sadly, not always very tasty. Perhaps they go stale before they reach the consumers?
They used to be a damn sight more expensive. Like macadamia expensive. And macadamias have gotten cheaper, too.
Yeeessss
Your approach of going off the traditional media path that tends to be usually scripted or filtered, is very much appreciated when it comes to botany and personal experiences with food direct from the source. Thank you.
Thanks Aaron! I like that I'm sharing the learning experience, I'm no expert here and have no agenda. That's generally the kind of content I like to watch.
I'm Brazilian, I live in the countryside, I have a bunch of Brazil nuts trees in my backyard, and still, I'm fascinated by this video lol
Do you wear a hardhat in your backyard?
How do you propagate those trees ??
Can you plant them by cutting??
@@WeesamSeddik we don't, they're native
I will never be able to another Brasil nut without saying a prayer of thanks to the workers who go through so much to get them ready to eat!
Bless their hands and eyes :)
💜
It’s insane to think that when I buy a bag of Brazil nuts that every single nut was individually cracked
Same kind of thing with cashews. Phenomenal work.
It will also explain the price tag.
@@vondahe its not only that brazil nut are hard to grow and produce so they need to be expencive to be worth
@@vondahe yeah but i wonder who is making all that $? certainly not the people doing the actual work....
@@kathyw4212 definitely...
People mad about the word "midget" in this video would have a heart attack if they knew what people used to call Brazil nuts.
Isn’t that the truth!
I didn't know about that until I heard this from a "friend" of mine that kept talking about being proud of being of Norwegian decent. It's sick.
Nick uh toes!
i work at the post office and a higher management person that is certainly a strong black woman laughingly asked me if i knew what "they" used to call the nuts..in the lunchroom. I said :ok jesus, yes, do you want me to say it? She laughed hard at my discomfiture
Indeed they would.
Had a "Willie Wonka" moment when you said, "And this is the nut-cracking room...."
It felt that way when I was there, so much excitement in that room.
It seems like a boring job to stand there cracking those nuts all day. But it does create employment in an area where there may not be too many other paying jobs.
These are rhe nut busters
Nutcracker Suite! Lol
Me too!
Oh ! My Lord ! I’ll Love Brazil nuts and now I’m gonna have to say a little prayer every time I have one to thank all the people that were involved to get it to me! Love to all!
Yeah, me too....Thanks everyone
Uhhh ok
I prefer cinnamon rolls...
Same praying thanks and blessings!
Here in Brazil we call these "castanhas do Pará" Something like "nuts from Pará" that's a state here in Brazil.
here in Brazil, just bought these new nuts from Para. fun to crack up here in the nut-cracking hills
That was incredible. Had no idea what they took to produce.
Thanks for that enjoyed seeing how Brazil Nuts are prepared
Due to the unexpected interest in my comment about the word "midget" being politically incorrect and the barrage of insults and threats that people have been sending me for saying this, I would like to set things straight with a simple definition. I hope this clears up any confusion about using this word to describe a nut:
"dry humour:
dry humour ,sometimes also referred to as deadpan, is a form of comedic delivery in which something humorous is said or done by a person, while not exhibiting a change in emotion or facial expression.
It is implied humour or indirect humour which largely depends on what the audience thinks is being said rather than anything else."
In all seriousness, I do work with little people sometimes (I'm a circus performer) and in my experience most of them don't care what you call them (though that might be because they are also circus performers). Some DO care, so I personally don't use the word midget when referring to a person... offensive or not, its at least rude. For anything that isn't a person, Brazil nuts or otherwise, it doesn't matter. Have fun watching me eat fruit and attempting to be funny and PLEASE don't be offended.
EDIT:
OK so I took down this pin and immediately got dozens of comments calling me a PC baby again.. so this is getting repinned. And now I'm looking at the comments on here, I see that a lot of people are misconstruing my pinned comment as me complaining about PC people. So now I have people saying I'm PC and anti-PC.
Guys...All I'm really doing in the video and this pinned comment is gently poking fun at people for being hypersensitive about being Politically correct, both for being PC (in video) and being anti-PC (pinned comment). If you are wondering what side I'm on, the answer is and always has been: This is a video about brazil nuts.
Weird Explorer Some people simply spoil for a fight no matter WHAT is said by whom. They take things out of context or don't pay attention to tone of voice, etc. Let it roll off.
To them, I say read Ecclesiastes 7:9,
9, Do not be quick to take offense, for the taking of offense lodges in the bosom of fools.
If that is all the derived from watching your video, they seem small minded.
Too bad people can't crack a dictionary. It literally means small, tiny, petite, diminutive, when used as an adjective. So unless you are using it to name a person, people really need to educate themselves.
Don't worry, I like to go to the Saturday night races, and the midget races are the best.
Weird Explorer ignore the ignorant haters who are so nuts that they can't tell the difference between calling an actual nut a midget and insulting a small human!
Weird Explorer, Thank you for this video.. That is Amazing!! Had No idea that so many people were involved in the process of that nut.. Wow.. Now I know why they are selling them for $10.00 per pound!
It's amazing how hard some people work, for us to enjoy life thanks for showing us how it's done, I'm from Bolivia,
I absolutely love Brazil nuts. They really have an absolutely delicious creamy clean flavor without the bitter taste some nuts can leave (some walnuts). I don’t mind opening them because they are super expensive shelled. I usually catch them this time of year when they’re on sale for the holidays. Thanks again!
Brazil nuts were my favorite growing up as a kid and they still are now in my 60's. But I'm seriously nuts for all nuts.
I'm pretty sure the brazilnut tree is a canopy tree in the amazon rainforest for mature, fully grown forests. Large rodents named agoutis are most responsible for the propagatin of the brazilnut tree by hulling & distributing the nuts by burring some of them for later, with some nuts growing into trees. Their role is similar to that of squirrels where squirrels are important to the ecology of oaks by the same premise, eating some and stashing the rest underground where in some are able to sprout.
Just thought that would be an interesting thing to share.
interesting! I've heard that these rodents also are able to pry the shells open using the small hole in the bottom of the fruit, useful little guys.
Interesting fact about the agoutis, I wonder how old the species is. Many plants we have around the world are ancient in comparison to mammals. I read an article on how avocados do not have a modern seed disperser, like brazil nuts. They are planted mainly by human hands even in ancient american history. Their large seed they think was dispersed by large herbivorous dinosaurs. I wonder if the same could be true of brazil nuts with such a huge fruit and size of seeds. Just my two pence.
@@blueturtle06 I thought it was giant mammals
Very! Ty
@@blueturtle06 wild avacados are distributed by birds.. theyed small.. size of a small peach with a huge stone
That's super cool that you got to actual tour the facility!
Punky Rooster it was fascinating to see!
I love your name!
This is the best way to tour the factory . . . no chance you'll be held up at gun point by a couple of guys on a motorcycle.
That's a beautiful tree. I can understand why it's illegal to cut one down
The labor in this is insane
I is a beautiful tre but you really dont want one in you backyard, when those nuts fall, they can kill you.
@@22espec oif
but the falling nut from the tree can cut you down,
Any native tree are protected by law im Brazil. Even in your own private property is ilegal to cute native trees. When you hear that we are burning our forest think twice. We are protecting Amazon from other nations like Venezuela, China, France, USA (Biden). Just make a research of how France treat her Guiana Francesa and how they are polutiing and destroing theyr part of the forest and how venezuela treat her part of amazon.
I'm in awe of how labour intensive this process is!
The entire life cycle is a truly amazing story. This video only covers how they process the to the finished nut but the most interesting part is what all it takes for the tree to get to the nut stage, it is truly an amazing story.
As I eat Brazil nuts. After seeing this, I don't mind paying $10 a pound
Oregon's Lonewolf yes I was gonna say now I see why they are so expensive.
Oregon's Lonewolf lol I just bought some yesterday for $13.50/ lb
OUCH Here is a trick. If you are in the states and can buy from bins, just use a different bin code. It works. lol
NZ$55 a kilo!
unfortunately the high cost probably isn't going to the workers. How much would we pay if American workers were shelling the nuts? Oh wait, we wouldn't work that hard, never mind.
I had no idea these nuts were cracked/peeled by hand. What a labor intensive product.
Try it with a hand cracker. The best ones you need to use a hammer and anvil.
Probably most of this could be done mechanically, but it won’t be in a third world country where labor is cheap and skills are low.
Saffron is another labour intensive product you should watch
Seems like I watched a video where all cashews are also hand cracked/picked due to the shells being somewhat poisonous. They don't trust machines to remove all shells.
Oh and that cashews are all steamed to remove slight poison too. So there is no such thing as raw cashews.
@@Emeraldwitch30 That's an interesting note. Thanks.
Seeing all these people working, I realize how important these nuts are.
And it looks like a tough life cracking nuts all day. Makes me appreciate how easy I have it.
And that is only one factory!
Now go watch them harvest cashews.
now u got me wanting to watch cashew harvesting....think im going nuts !
Deez Nutz?
That nut cracking room is enough to assure I never eat a pre-cracked Brazil nut. What a horror show...imagine doing that all day everyday.
Still -- it is a job for people. Its common for third world countries to have manual jobs in factories, and its important source of income for their locals.
Brazil nuts are my absolute favorites. Love them covered with chocolate.
Very interesting. It explains why they are not cheap to buy.
$17.00 a pound here at my local fresh food market in Pennsylvania. I skipped over them. Now I'm going back to get some. Great job on the video.
Crazy pricing! In Germany I pay 3€ a pound!
I will never complain about the price of Brazil Nuts again!
Get the midget ones,they're less expensive.
Amen to that.
I will never EAT a Brazil nut again, not after seeing what people are put through.
@@gingerredshoes what, why? they need jobs too
even here in Brazil this nuts cost alot
I've never had fresh brazil nuts, but can relate to the surprise and enjoyment you experienced. I had fresh almonds for the first time when I was in Turkey in September. I will never forget the entirely different layer of flavour: almond extract infused almonds. Bing! Light of understanding goes on!
Doesn't tasting all the fresh fruits of the world where they are grown spoil your enjoyment of the ones you get in your local grocery store ever after?
I love Brazil nuts this was such a good video thanks.
You are the kind of people who make Nutella famous. Brazil nuts and hazelnuts are oily and taste blend. And stop eating Nutella because it is an evil food.
Evil...? lol
@@blueforest2927 They're probably talking about the use of palm oil, but from a minute of googling it seems Nutella tries to source it sustainably
@@machiavellianos what are you on about, exactly?
you made me feel like going out and buying some today, it is good to see so many people making a livelihood out of this fantastic god-given plant .
That cracking room was absolutely nuts bro
I was eating Brazil nuts as this thing came across my recommended videos. I am blessed to be able to enjoy this delicious food.
No food factory could ever operate like this in the USA. So many health violations in one video. Poor people treated like crap so others don't have to crack a shell. Very thankful to all those hard workers. Thanks so much.
I grew up in Brasil and never knew how they grew, but I do love them
Leslie, e tu chama de castanha do Pará ou castanha do Amazonas? Aqui quem mais produz é o Amazonas, mas pra cá no sudeste e sul compramos como "castanha do Pará". Igual no vídeo chamam de castanha do Brasil comprando da Bolívia. Se tu for até Manaus os locais ficam bravos se tu não chama de castanha do amazonas kk
I can't believe no one has built a nut cracking machine. The labor cost is insane.
TheOkWoodsman
I wonder what the turnover rate is because I don't see people doing that job for 40 years.
Cheap labour, and they get free nuts!
These poor people are probably being paid a penny per nut that they crack or an amount on the number of bowls of shelled nuts.
In developing there is a mindset of trying to use people instead of machines. Machines are very costly in a poor country do to currency exchange. Replacing them by machines is going to make them poorer. There is not the social security like in the developed world.
It's a very hard and irregular seed. I bet prototypes were too wasteful.
Highest natural source of SELENIUM 😎
And Radon a radioactive gas. Enjoy.
@@jamesh1017 they have radium, not radon, ass
@@pudgebonetv9628 radon is produced through the decomposition of radium, meanie.
Jared, thank you for the tour! It is great to see where exotic foods like Brazil nuts come from. All the individual handling explains the high price. They are well worth it though. I have never gotten a Brazil nut that wasn't 100% intact with no wormholes.
Try natural grocers, they are the best I find. All are perfect in mine.
Wow it truly is a luxury to eat any type of nut. The amount of work is amazing.
I gather & crack fresh pecans by hand. To get 1-2+ full big ziplocks it will take me several weeks of sitting & watching UA-cam for a couple of hours a day or so. I was told once that if you put them in all natural wildflower honey they'll last forever just like the honey.
You can also keep them in the freezer for a couple of years too.
More videos like this! This was super interesting. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.
Thanks James!
I really do respect the Brazil nut now after watching this. Never knew they were all done by hand. Mad respect
I've always had them in their shells. I was aware that shelled nut could be bought but I've never given much thought to who shells the nuts.
Very interesting. I had no idea where exactly and how the Brazilian Nuts find their way into my local supermarket. Thank you for uploading, definately worth a watch !!!
My favorite nut.....I spend about US$25 a week on them. A total weight of about a pound and a half. Great video.....very informative and concise. You tube video makers, take note and learn.
Brian Richards I bet you can get one of those giant boxes for $100.
I enjoyed the tour. Thank you
Another wierd fact about these nuts. An alternative name is candle nut. Before they dry out you're supposed to be able to stick a wick in one and light it to burn like a dim candle.
It would have been nice to learn more about the fruit, before it turns into a cannon ball and falls from the tree.
What's the flower look like, before the fruit starts to form, how long does it take to form, how long does it take for a new tree to bare fruit, etc..
Other than that, it was as pretty informative. Thanks for posting.
Robert Glass
Those are all really good questionz
@therealnightwriter, Why, yes I do. Including, but not limited to, making my own videos, (well, they're not usually mine, but nonetheless, I am a professional videographer). I do, from time to time, whine about shit, but, in this instance, I was giving constructive criticism. Which also happens to be something I ask for, in regards to my own work, and greatly appreciate when I feel it is genuine.
So, what about you..? You strike me as being a bit whiny yourself. Maybe you should take a look at that...
Good content for YOUR UA-cam Brazil nut video!!!!! Get started... We’ll be waiting.
And how the heck do you open the pods?
AND most of all--Where can we buy Brazil nuts cheeeeeaaaap????
When I was younger, these were called something different...
I wonder what they were called
Only black people can call them that now.
Krakatoa.
@@mariantreber8055 Blackatoa
@@rrnabors1 As long as you don't use the hard R at the end.... I don't call them that, but I surely remember them being called N.toes. I am glad they're not called that anymore.
I am so thankful that others enjoy these. I can’t eat them. But i do buy them for the holidays for the squirrels and doves. Thank you to all those that bring joy to the little creatures that visit my porch.
I knew that cashews aren't nuts but I didn't realize that Brazil nuts weren't nuts but rather fruit seeds. Very informative and entertaining.
Most people do not know how much work goes into preparing cashews so they are edible and how little each plant yields compared to other nuts, too.
Pecans and walnuts aren't nuts either, they're fruits.
as far as i under stand nuts actually grow under ground ... like peanuts ... so when you get hard seeds from a tree youre actually eating fruit seeds
@@0623kaboom peanuts are a legume
Thanks! I had NO idea how Brazil nuts are grown/harvested/etc. Fascinating.
I have a new found respect for the Brazilian nut
It's so cool that smarter every day is a mega patron. Destin is a good dude
Never had a clue as to where they came from. I love 'em!!!! Thanks for sharing!
Patient- I have a nut allergy.
Doctor- Which ones?
Patient- The ones that fall out of trees like cannon balls.
Doctor- Oh, you’ve been to Bolivia.
LoL 😃😄😅😆 love it
Same thing goes for coconut trees. They do injure and kill. I lived in Honduras and had to warn many vacationers from up north to "please don't set under the coconut trees."
Interesting and informative. The Brazil nuts up here in Canada are usually old and a stale yellowish colour because they spoil rather quickly and must be refrigerated but can get moldy easily. Also, they are very expensive so many people cannot afford them.
As a young boy, I knew these nuts by another name. That name is now not accepted, socially. And I don't use that name anymore. But they're still just as good.
I love Brazil nuts. The labour that goes into producing our food is humbling sometimes. Coffee is also the same, every bean is peeled by hand ☕👏🏾
This is why they as so expensive... but gotta get that selenium Cheers great vid!
Nice original video, not a copy of someone else's work.
Perhaps the most earthy tasting & 2nd hardest nut to open after the Black Walnut. 8918
By earthy I assume u mean tastes like dirt coz that's what they taste like to me lol
macadamia nut is the hardest to open.
Rockin Russ You Sir are correct. Learnin' everyday... thank's
81218
I have some black walnuts that I cannot open. I'd have to say that they are, indeed, harder to open than the Brazil nuts!
Butternuts need a big metal opener too! Minnesota
Thank you! Brazil Nuts are my FAVORITE nut. I've been obsessively eating them since I was 6 years old...lol. Now, I know where they come from & how grown, harvested, dried, etc. Again....thank you!
Brazil nuts are delicious are my favorite! My grandmother roasted them every year for Christmas with butter & salt.
That's really cool. I love Brazil nuts. Thx for posting this vid.
wish they showed how they harvested them too ... but you cant always have everything
It was good to learn where hear come from. And it was cool of them to let you film their factory.
That was an amazing video. Talk about taking something for granted.! Never would have imagined origins of Brazil nut like that.
You rarely see them in their shells here in the U.K. except at Christmas time. Back in the seventies we used to buy pounds of them at our local open air market in the run up to Christmas and then sit all over the Christmas period cracking them open and eating them. Kept me amused for hours as a kid! We used to keep new mole grips for this task rather than the traditional nut crackers, as we found those better, and took great delight in sharing them around the family. We used to roast chestnuts on the open fireplace hearth. Simple pleasures that are lost in this fast convenience needing society.
This video is great. I'd really like to see more like this, that delve into the backgrounds of the fruits and nuts, where they come from, how they are processed, and so forth
Fun fact : Brazil nuts from Brazil are actually slightly radioactive. Due to the tree's huge root system and the soil where they are produced in Brazil contains high levels of uranium the mineral gets sucked and ends up in the nut
Another fun fact: In Brazil, they call them "nozos de Pará," after Pará State. (I assume that's the center of Brazil-nut production, in Brazil.)
@@rickwestlake3048
That's right. And the name is "nozes do Pará", in portuguese.
I was really looking forward to seeing the large outer shell being cracked open and seeing all the brazil nuts inside.
.
.
It didn't happen :(
Same here.
I actually have one that someone had cut slots in to show the nuts inside. It's funny because people ask me all the time how I got the nuts inside.
I truly had no idea where brazil nuts came from. I don't know if I ever even thought about the tree. Thanks for the info!
I knew nothing about the tree. Its 500 year life span and the fact that its pods can kill you or mess up your car. Those are some big trees.
Nice vid!..I'm from the Caribbean and they also grow here to but they can only be found deep in the forested areas.
Fun fact: It takes a tree about 20 years to reach maturity and bear fruit...Once it produces flowers, flowers are pollinated- it takes 14 months for fruit to develop into ripe, Brazil Nuts.
Very informative! .. Thanks!
And that's the story in a nutshell.
Nope! The story is that despite the fact that most of the nuts came from Bolivia they called them "Brazilian nuts! Just like the fact that Jiu Jitsu came from Japan they called it "Brazilian Jiu Jitsu!" Brazil is simply getting too much credit for something that it doesn't deserve!
Such a pleasure to find this video in my feed. Thank you!
My favorite Nut! In a world filled with nuts!
I definitely won't feel so bad about how expensive these nuts are now. Just look at the amount of hard work and labour that goes into getting them to market!
I wish I had one of those big boxes. You are so lucky. Thank you for your educational video.
Interesting, and informative. This is way better than watching a pimple popping video..
That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me.
well it is a pinple popping video . its a tree pimple ;)
GHAH! Lol!
When the First World has a depression, the Third World suffers horribly.
The tree is magnificent! The fruit of the tree, amazing. These people, awesome. Thank you for educating us. 💕
I'm glad so many willing adults have jobs but surprised no automation for hulling the nut. Thanks for the upload.
Minimum wage is low compared to machine price (+ cost to run).
Push the minimum wage higher enough, and you'll see the majority of them get fired.
Think the thickness irregularity of the shell shape and sizes automation might have broken to many in half to be viable. Thinner shelled nuts like pecans walnuts and the like are much easier to have a machine open successfully.
Very educational. Thank you for such an immersive and detailed look into the Brazil nut.
"You're welcome, Bo Derek."
Found this video extremely interesting and informative. I had no idea that they came from such a huge pod and I also can hardly believe that there is no automation for the shelling. I would love to try one right out of the dryer.
Thank you for this tour. I wish I could experience it in person.
Brazil nuts are very good for the body and super tasty, they contain a bunch of selenium, which is essential for good health. Afaik, there is nothing else that contains as much natural selenium.
Nature as the starting point for my brazil nut where it ‘ends’ in my mouth. Thank you dear Nature, thank you.
Thank God, nature is just a word
It seems wrong to be burning all those shells. There must be some thing useful that can be made of all that 'wood'.
The heat produced goes to the drying chambers so it is not wasted.
I was thinking the same thing. So wasteful.
Both the fruit case and the nut shells would make a brilliant orchid potting media and normal potting mixes too. Wouldnt break down quickly and would leave plenty of air around the roots for longer than bark.
@@raerae6422 how the is it wasteful? THEY’RE LITERALLY SUPPLYING THE FUEL FOR THEIR FURNACES, but the concept of energy has left your mind. everything needs energy yes? if they stopped using the shells what else do you think they’d start using instead? that’s right cutting down the trees for fuel instead.
There is, it's called fire. Idiot.
@@mark-wn5ek bbbbu but, but the video didnt hold my hand and explain it like i'm a stupid baby, so they must be burning them in a massive furnace for no reason.......
No wonder brazil nuts are so expensive. So much work goes into processing it!!
Yeah I have a whole new respect for these now :)
Brad Suarez Wait till you see how labor intensive white asparagus is. Makes these nuts look like child’s play. 😳
Thank you for the wonderful video. You have been thorough. I am sorry that some folks are so unhappy and cynical that they are looking for things in this world to criticize and make others feel badly as they do. You did a great job. I am elderly, and enjoyed every moment.
This video was fascinating! I am blown away that you have this footage.
Bolivia. Those nut cracking workers probably make .50 cents a day. It’s the poorest country in South America.
HI Elsa Grace. I appreciate your comment. I love these nuts but was really impressed by the workers. How many people I know that need a job to support their family but won't take less than they feel 'qualified' for. To wash dishes, do maintenance, clean bathrooms or mop is somehow 'beneath' them. Fries me! That place, by necessity, is loud. The work is mundane and repetitive. The pay is most likely low. It's not a job most people dream of doing for their life. Hats off the those men and women for their work ethic. Their willingnwless. Their selfrespect. When I purchase these it will be with greater respect for how easily accessible it is to me to simply grab item off the shelves of Trader Joe's.
Great video.
elsa Grace
That's not good! Its really important to me that we work towards a world where everyone gets toive a good, happy life
+elsa Grace ... Pretty sure that title belongs to Venezuela right now, seeing as their currency is worth 1/35000th of what Bolivia's money is worth.
Currently, the minimum wage in Bolivia per month is 2060 BOB which converts to $297.47 a month. Which is $9.92 per day (not $0.50), and if you assume 8 hours per day that is $1.24 per hour. So, that shows how poor that country is.
see they are allowed to eat what would you expect from the far left in power
Brazil nuts were domesticated by pre-Columbian native peoples -- in Brazil and Bolivia.
Groves of Brazil nut trees still exist in the jungle -- the remains of ancient nut orchards.
In Gallup NM I am paying $12.99 a pound. So worth it. Thanks to all the workers who do this job. Much love.
That explains why these little buggers are so expensive... this is amazing!! I NEVER KNEW! These are my very favorite nuts in the world! Thank you to all these people!
This was amazing. I had no idea! We love your channel!
thank you!
These are my favorite nuts to eat, then it has to be pistachio then pecan and walnuts.
CASHEWS ... you forgot CASHEWS . the most creamy nut ever when fresh and warm ;)
I loved nuts. Now have dentures. Can't eat them anymore, except for pecans, cuz they're softer. Have to make nut butter out of them to eat.
With an operation that big I would install a system to make some electricity off the constant flow of burning nut shells and try to sell it back to the grid. or see if it could be further refined in to a building material or mulch. Seems like such a waste to just burn it.
I know - I thought that too! Could be used for building materials, furniture materials, and landscaping stuff. What a shame that they burn it right at the factory site!
Someone else mentioned that they burn the shells to heat the furnace to dry the nuts.
They use the heat for drying the nuts.
WOW !!! had no idea at the level of manual labour required to process Brazil nuts...Great video.keep up the good work...
also enjoyed him using nutty to describe nuts
