Author	Topic: Brazil Nuts need to be totally ivory colored?
mliq 05-08-2003 09:18 PM	I purchased brazil nuts in the shell from the recommended nutsonline.com site and they arrived today. Just like the shelled brazil nuts I bought locally, they are definitely more yellow on the outside than on the inside, though still not very yellow. Should they really be totally ivory colored?
