Brazil nuts are:

18% protein
13% carb
69% fat

random fact for the day...

My grandfather likes those. And Indian nuts. He's 86, rolls his own cigarettes and drinks scotch, so maybe there's something to it.

Most nuts are high-fat, aren't they? Because of the oils in them, but the oils are where a bunch of the good stuff is, too, isn't it? Like vitamins and sht? 

I dunno. I just eat what tastes good.

Nuts usually are pretty fattening, but it's the fat that protects your heart. They also have a lot of protein in them too.

Yea but these far exceed macadamias, which are considered to be a pretty fatty nut.

Nuts are my lunch.

Yea, I think I could eat my weight in those. But I'd look like I've been playing in the dirt.

I do agree about Nutella. Except I buy the World Market brand, which is way cheaper. Slightly less stiff too.

I'm not sure. I think Brazil nuts are in their own category. I think filberts and hazelnuts are the same though. So you weren't way off.

I have fond memory of receiving nuts in my christmas stocking.
