Brazil nuts are actually the seeds of a big fruit from a pretty massive rainforest tree. About 15 to 30 seeds sit in a large round pod that weighs around five pounds. The ripe pods fall to the ground, where they're harvested by people... or carried off by animals.

Nike cant crack the shell but shelled brazil nuts are by far her favorite food.

Niki is stunning in any photo. Can a Macaw get into a Brazil nut?

That is a large fruit. Almost looks like a log stuffed full of nuts rather than a fruit that grew that way.
