ABOUT ROASTED UNSALTED BRAZIL NUTS: DID YOU KNOW?
Do you know the “” Brazil Nut “” effect? If you are used to making your own homemade nut mixes, perhaps you have already noticed: when you combine Brazil nuts with other nuts of different sizes in the same pot, they always rise to the top. no matter how hard you shake the pot.
If you haven’t tried it yet, now is the time – what you’ll see will drive you crazy!
This phenomenon, also known as “granular convection”, occurs when the largest particles of a mixture of objects of different sizes rise to the surface.
Scientists are still unsure of the cause. According to a popular theory, this could be due to the difference in density. Other scientists argue that it happens because the particles are too large to fit in the spaces on the sides of the pot. Whatever the reason, we have learned the lesson: what goes down can go up!
STORAGE TIPS: PRESERVE FRESHNESS!
For optimal storage, refrigerate your Brazil nuts for up to 1 year.
