  1. Wondered why you haven’t seen many #BrazilNuts lately?

    There’s a reason.

    #Brazil #nuts rely entirely on undisturbed #Amazon #rainforest #ecosystems to grow.

    The #flowers require #pollination by specific large-bodied bees (such as #orchidbees), which only thrive in pristine rainforests.

    Man-made #plantations experience extremely low, economically unviable production, meaning 100% of the world's supply must be harvested from the wild.

    Who knew! Huh!

    #BrazilNuts

    Texture [5/5]: A satisfying, clean crunch for the whole mouth!

    Flavor [2/5]: Not much.

    Appearance (shell on) [3/5]: It’s okay & fun to crack.
    Appearance (shell off) [3/5]: It’s fine — I guess I like the patterns of brown from the inner shell.

    Overall [3.3/5]: Great crunch but bland.
