Travel to Brazil

Ski_grl asked:


I just bought a bag of unshelled raw brazil nuts and I’m having a terrible time getting the things shelled. It seems like the nuts are trying their very hardest to stay attached to the shell. I end up cracking them and flipping half the shell across my kitchen and then spend 10 minutes gouging the nut out. Somehow those people at Planter’s manage to sell whole Brazil nuts, so I know it must be possible.

Are there any tricks to unshelling Brazil nuts or am I really that uncoordinated?

I’ve got blisters on my fingers! I am using the traditional nutcracker that everyone is probably familiar with and I try to be very careful, but I still end up with Brazil nut shreds. And blisters on my fingers. Help…..
