“Durian and Brazil Nut. An odd pair? Yes, but they have this in common, that you have to be careful they don’t drop on your head.” (Alan Davidson)

People have always found it odd that I pick out the Brazil nuts from the mixed nut bowls at parties. Lucky for me, those are the ones in full abundance since everyone tries to avoid them. My friend’s mom even saved the leftovers from their family gatherings and put them in a little bag to give to me whenever I went over.

So you can imagine my great delight when I discovered that Meijer now carries Brazil nuts sold separately. Previously, I’d only been able to find them in cans with assorted nuts, but now, they are sold by themselves. A 0.88 ounce bag is $5, but I felt better after I saw that the serving size is 6 and so there are about 16 servings per bag.

I promptly came back and ate 8.
