Brazil Nuts - Roasted & Salted
We roast a tremendous quantity of brazil Nuts and lightly salt them as part of making our mixed nuts. all roasting firms make various kinds of mixed nuts and we have a huge selection.... The Brazil Nut is found in most of the nut mixtures we create in our plant and we use the freshest Brazil Nuts for these mixtures.
Brazil Nuts - Roasted & Unsalted
When we roast Brazil Nuts, we often do not salt them because the brazil Nuts will be used for other products such as the making of chocolate Brazil Nuts. We consider the roasted and unsalted Brazil Nut to be more of an ingredient use, but we do have a consistent and loyal following using this nut - the tropical brazil Nut.
Brazil Nuts Raw
We buy the freshest Brazil nuts. The nuts are gathered in the Amazon basin rain forests of Brazil, Peru and Bolivia. The pod holds up to 32 segments, arranged much like an orange with a top and bottom layer. The nuts are gathered in remote areas by local natives. Each year, as the rain forest is decimated, this crop gets scarcer and the price climbs.
Raw Inshell Brazil Nuts
Ever notice how hard it is to find a raw in-shell brazil nut except at X-Mas. The nuts are harvested in May each year in Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, and Bolivia, and then exported to the Untied States. In order for us to have them year around, we purchase large quantities of the previous crop so that we can fill orders all year round. These Raw Inshell Brazil Nuts are the perfect food for your large birds and other Pets. Lots of grown-ups also love them as a snack food.
Sliced Brazil Nuts
There are cutomers who love to use the sliceed Brazil Nut for their baking or garnish needs. we heat the nuts up to make them pliable. If we slice them too cool, they shatter. if they are too hot, they overcook. so temperature is critical. We run the brazil Nuts through our Urschell CC slicer and we can slice over 4,000 pounds an hour of sliced brazil Nuts!
