The Brazil nuts you get with the shells on them are the kind that
are impossible to get the shells OFF of. For a few cents a pound more,
you can get the shell-able kind. The nut practically begs to come out
of the shell if you get these kind.

Once I got the unshellable kind, and found out that tossing them out of
a 3rd story window helped loosen them up.
