Nuts
Acre
B tier
Acre-origin Brazil nuts come from Brazil’s western Amazon state, part of the forest harvest chain that feeds national and export crackers. Creamy high-oil meats still need cool storage after shelling. Origin labelling supports forest-product storytelling; aroma still decides quality. Selenium moderation applies. Freeze for long holding.

History
Acre type brazil nut was selected or named in commercial and orchard practice as growers refined regional stocks.
Orchard and trade grading spread Acre beyond its first districts where climate allowed.
Acre entered wider export catalogues as named-variety marketing grew for nuts.
Specialty buyers continued to request Acre for predictable flavour and size in roasting and baking.
