Fruit bats fertilise some plants in Oceania. I wonder if we have a lot more '...brought to you by mammals' fruits to come? (I think they fertilise non-farmed species. they eat the heart out of the fruit industry and are endangered in part because they're seen as a pest)
Are they really creamy? Just eaten one. It's relatively hard and fractures into shards when chewed, as you continue chewing the shards get smaller and smaller and finally approaches texture of a chewed walnut, maybe bit stiffer.
Dried nuts ship and store better. You can soak or steam most dried nuts and legumes for a fresher consistency or shorter cooking times.
Where I'm from, fresh Pecans are sweet, pliant, and heavy- pretty typical mammoth halves. The products from the store are not very similar, but that's the cost of keeping them from going rancid on the shelves.
I also soak almonds before pulverizing for a number of un-cooked/toasted Indian dishes. Dried, they're mealy and not very aromatic. Soaked, they're a lot smoother.
We call it nuts from one of the biggest, country-in-a-state administrative regions, the second biggest I guess in amazon rainforest, after the absolutely humongous state called Amazonas (AM). Sometimes here it's also the one implied if you just say "nut" (castanha), though cashew nuts are also common and plentiful but come out more from northeastern regions, the ones with a beautiful coast and equatorial climate, than the northern directly associated with humid continental Amazon geography.

Once they're gone, even genetic salvage will probably mean waiting decades before enough trees are mature enough to matter.
.. and various backyards or just along the road even in larger cities. Some consider them a nuisance[1].

"Brazil nut trees produce fruit almost exclusively in pristine forests, as disturbed forests lack the large-bodied bees of the genera..."

They must have mistaken it for cashews.

Depending, it may be good in smoothies or to steep tea in, to add to rice, oats, or quinoa, or as part of the stock liquid when cooking.
Selling unsoaked nuts is IMO comparable to selling dry rice. I feel food packaging should do more to inform you.

Does this mean we can use the Brazil Nut (and its availability/price) as a "canary" for forest condition?
