brazil nut info


















According to the authors at Wikipedia.com:


Today Ron we will be talking abut how the Brazil Nut is not really a nut. the definition of a nut is a simple dry fruit with one seed and rarely 2 in which the ovary wall becomes very hard at maturuity, and where the seed remains unattched or unfused with the ovary wall. After carefully reviewing that definition of a nut, it is true that a Brazil Nut is not a true nut. The Brazil Nut has a hard woody shell and inside contains usually 8-24 triangular seeds packed like segments of an orange. Thus not being a true nut because it has more than one or 2 seeds, inside the hardened outer shell. Despite their name, the most signficant exporter of Brazil Nuts is not Brazil but Bolivia, where they are called Almendras. In Brazil these nuts are called Castanhas-do-Para, but Acreans call them Castanhas-do-Acre instead. Indigenous names include Juvia in the Orinoco area, and Sapucaia in Brazil. The Cream Nut is one of the several historical names for the Brazil Nut used in America. While classified by cooks as a nut, botanists consider Brazil Nuts to be a seed and not a nut, since in nuts the shell splits in halves, with the meat being separate from the shell. After talking about all this its werid how they still sell Brazil Nuts in the cans of mixed nuts and also have them in the nut section of stores along with all the other nuts. The capsule contains a small hole at one end, which enables large rodents like the Agouti to gnaw open the capsule. They then eat some of the nuts inside while burying others for later use; some of these are able to germinate to produce new Brazil Nut Trees. Most of the seeds are planted by the Agoutis in shady places , and the yound saplings may have to wait years, in a state of dormancy, for a tree to fall and sunlight to reach it. It is not until then that it starts growing again. Capuchin Monkeys have been reported to open Brazil Nuts using a stone as an anvil. As well its food use, Brazil Nut oil is also uded as a lubricant in clocks, for making artists' paints, and in the comsmetics industry. The timber from Brazil Nut Trees is of excellent quality, but logging the trees is prohibitied by law in all three producing countries: Brazil, Bolivia, and Peru. Illegal extreaction of timber and land clearances present a continuing threat. The Brazil Nut effect, where large items mixed with other smaller items tend to rise to the top, is named after the species' of large nuts. Brazil Nuts contain small amounts of Radium, a radioactive material. Although the amount is very small, about 1-7 pci/g and most of it is not retained by the body, this is 1000 times higher than in other foods. According to Oak Ridge Associated Universities, this is not the cause of elevated levels of Radium in the soil, but due to the very extensive root system of the tree. Now after listening to this lovely and very imformative peice of information everyone should now know the Brazil Nut is not a real nut but instead a seed. We know that everyone that listens to this wil love the facts that we have shared with them. This has been Peter and Ron on QP 420.

kal- Howdy Ben?

ben- mornin kal.

kal- What have you been up to?

ben- not a whole lot just keepin up with the farm, what about you

kal- Well, I checked the cows out on that 80 acres I just bought out by your place and noticed one of them there Kubota tractors sittin` at Daniel’s place.

ben- yeah i seen that he had one of them, he says its the best tractor he’s ever had but that aint sayin much since his last one was a kioti.

kal- Yea i seen that Kioti before. It aint much better. What do you know bout them Kubotas?

ben- i think they’re from japan or somethin, you know i think that i might go look at one i think they might be a pretty good deal

kal- Well maybe, if your willing to pay any kind of money on crap. I wouldn’t buy one of them pieces of junk. They look like they were built by toddlers during their nap-time.

ben- well i hear that they’re pretty good on fuel and now-a-days thats pretty important, and that orange color sure is cool lookin!

Kal- Man I tell you what, i never thought that I would hear you talk about another tractor besides John Deere. Now there’s a possibility that you might buy a Kubota!!!! Boy I tell you man, it aint gonna be worth it.

ben- i dont know kal i sure do like john deere but i think that i should give them a try i sure hope that i wont get to disappointed i mean those japanese boys sure know how to make stuff run right.

Kal- Well they do know how to build stuff, but still i wouldn’t ever give up operating one of my Case IH’s to operate a Kubota. I wouldn't even give a Kubota a chance.

ben- ya and they’ve been around for like 108 years so they better know how to do somethin right and i’ve been hearin pretty good stuff about the new M series cab-tractors

Kal- Have they really, I don’t believe it. That was like in 1890. I think they would be a little more popular if they were around for that long.

ben- well they are very popular in japan or so they say... i think they just started to import them to the US a few years ago
Kal- I know they are popular in Japan but they don’t need to be in the U.S.A.!!!!!

BEN- well they aren’t super popular yet and i dont now if they will be but i sure think that they will be a good tractor.

Kal- Well you think what you want but i’ll never give up on a Case IH.

ben- well i sure haven’t gave up on my john deere and i dont ever plan to im just lookin for a little diversity.

Kal- Well i dont run anything on my farm besides Case IH and Caterpillar.

ben- well i think that im goin to go out and get one of them kubotas just to tick you off.

Kal- If you want to buy a piece of junk tractor just to tick me off, you need to see one of them there psycho people, or what ever they call em these days.

ben- well i think i will, and heck if i dont like it i’ll just trade it in on another deere, thats another good thing about kubota is they got real good trade in value, its almost as good as deere’s and even better than a CASE IH

Kal- Dadburnit Ben, what the hecks wrong with ya today. It seems like i was just yesterday that you were sayin` you’d never give up a Deere and you’d never use any other tractor besides John Deere.

ben- i aint talkin about givin up on a deere im just talkin about diversifying and besides they’re actually made in the USA i bet you cant say the same about case ih can you???

Kal- Well they’re made just bout anywhere because of the demand of them.

ben- yeah and then they’re imported here instead of gettin built here like every other good tractor.

Kal- We only use em, not build em. They are pure American designed.

Ben- well i look for the american quality and design not just design

Kal- They have American quality but they’re built by foreign countries, its all the same!!!!!!

Ben- I dont want no chinese man doin anything but drawin out how the tractors goin to look after americans make it and i dont want to be payin no chinese mans salary either!

Kal- Well we need more Americans to use them rather than build em’. Dadgummit!!!!!

ben- well kal i dont know what to tell you
Kal- Hang on you can tell me after I take this call. Hello, hey hows it goin? Are you kiddin me? This is all i need right now!!! Alright i’ll meet you down there!! Gosh Dernit!!!

Ben- well whats happened now??

Kal- Them derm neighbor boys next farm down from mine opened all my gates and’s lettin all my cattle out. They better hope I dont catch em’!!!!!

ben- well i better let you get after them holler at me if you need some help.

Kal- I aint gonna need your help, you’se a probably gonna bring up another conversation bout them dern Kubota tractors right in the middle of my work and set me off again.

Ben- Alright, your loss.

Kal- Sounds good, see ya tomorrow Ben!

ben- alright i’ll cya later.

no as a matter a fact there rather fast. this car comes with three engine models yes i said three engine models now by the look on your face your flabbergasted but thats not all this s midrange 550 has a 5.5 liter variable timing v8 pushing 391 foot pounds of torque, 382 horse power and a 0-60 time within 5 seconds flat.

flabbergasted now thats an understatement. but how much does all this cost?

well for a car of this caliber cost really isn’t an issue so what do you say how’d you like to own one of these bad boys

so in other words its incredibly expensive.

well not quite expensive its only 87,000 to 194,000

so in other cases i need to morgage my house sell three of my four kids and other such means of acquiring money to buy this car

no you’ll probably have to sell all four. but on the upside i’m looking for a kid. so what do you say

idk well what is the biggest motor you can put in this sucker.

oh so your looking for the s600 eh.

well what are we looking at here. what am i buying if i go for this car

well the s600 has a massive 5.5 liter v12 pushing out an awesome 612 foot pounds of torque and has 510 horsepower. it goes 0-60 in 4.4 seconds.

really well whats the gas mileage?

well this is its one down side it only gets 16 mpg. but in all honestly if you can afford this 100,000 plus price tag is this really a problem

well seeing how i’m selling my kids just to afford it as well as morgaging my house it might be. no never mind i’ll just siphon it of my neighbors. i’ll take it.
