Brazil Nuts just aren't very good
Thought this was funny. I don't like Brazil Nuts all that much and often there are lots of them in the cans of mixed nuts at the store - and there tends to be lots of them left at the bottom of the can after I've eaten all the other types. Apparently I'm not alone - here's an informal survey indicating they're one of the least favorite nuts.
I'd assumed they were cheap and just there to take up volume, but according to this (at least at the time of the sample) Brazil nuts cost as much as many other nuts (Almonds, peanuts, Walnuts, and Cashews are all less or similar in cost). My favorites - pecans - are quite a bit more expensive which likely explains their scarcity in the mix.
But seriously - if Brazil nuts cost about the same as Almonds, Walnuts, and Cashews - then please substitute.
