Is that good for you? I seem to recall that some supermarkets banned the sale of Brazil nuts in their shells a few years ago owing to them containing some carcinogenic compound - though last Christmas they made a reappearance. Just not the same IMO when they're not in their shells.

And just one more Brazil nut fact: ironically, in Brazil they are called Castanhas de Peru (Peru Nuts).

and (double bananas) have someone who could be interested in utilising it

If you're unsure as to whether its just wind or perhaps something more, best not to find out when sat at your desk
