Brazil nuts - Walnuts

 Hello
I am searching for the brazil nuts - walnuts that are still in the shell

The pre shelled nuts have been boiled to remove the shells and have
lost their vitamin and mineral content

I am looking in the Truo area Cornwall - even nuts by post would be
of help

These nuts have a medicinal effect which help me with my vitamin

deficiencies

I'm confused - are you looking for brazil nuts or walnuts?
I've seen self-serve mixed nuts still in their shells in most supermarkets
recently, in with the fresh fruit/veg section

 Therefore wrote:


Sales of Brazil nuts in their shells have been banned for several years
now:

That may have been so in 2004 (or was it one of those yes we'll have no
bent banana stories?) but you can certainly buy whole Brazils now. I
bought loose mixed nuts in their shells, including Brazils, only
yesterday.

I stand to be corrected, either on the ban itself or simply that some
traders are flouting it, if it does exist!.

I know I haven't seen them in the supermarket for a while, and Googling
for "brazil nut shells" just brought up a load of "they're banned"
stories.  Maybe Google has taken the Daily Mail as a sponsor!
