Helps preserve the Amazon rainforest Cardboard Packaging The boxes are made from 100% recycled cardboard (minimum 50% post-consumer). Each ton of cardboard that's recycled instead of tossed saves 9 cubic yards of landfull, 46 gallons of oil and 17 trees. That adds up fast! PROCESSED TO PURITY At this facility, the in-shell nuts undergo a series of controlled processes and inspections which ensure that poor quality nuts can be eliminated at several points in the process. First they are inspected for mold, then quickly dried at 131 C before undergoing a moisture test. Then the nuts (still in their shells) are steamed at 40 psi for 10 seconds to clean and sterilize the outer layers. Then the nuts are shelled and graded. Only the best quality nuts are allowed to proceed. To prevent oxidation of the nuts, only whole nuts are destined for direct consumption. Nuts that break during the shelling process are separated for use in oil making. At this point, the nuts are dried a final time, before undergoing thorough chemical testing for aflatoxins. Then they are vacuum packed and shipped to a more complete processing facility in Lima. There, the nuts are weighed, moisture tested (again), and sorted (again) to divert broken nuts for oil production. All nuts undergo a final steam decontamination (48 seconds at 177 C) before cooling and final testing for microbes and aflatoxins. THE NEXT BEST THING TO RAW Nobody can honestly claim to offer Truly RAW Brazil nuts. Because they are wild-harvested in the humid jungle, all organic Brazil nuts must be treated at temperatures above 118 C to prevent humidity and mold contamination. Although our Brazil nuts are not processed at raw tepmeratures, they are never roasted and are treated at minimal necesary temperatures, in order to protect their delicate polyunsaturated fatty acids from oxidation. Even though all Brazil nuts are wild harvested if they are NOT organic certified that means they are treated with toxic chemicals to prevent rot. Our Brazil nuts are certified organic AND kosher, so instead of using chemicals, they undergo a rigorous process of inspection, steam-cleaning, and drying.
