Answer and some fun facts about this nut:

spoiler

It’s a Brazil nut! Brazil nuts are fairly unique among nuts one might commonly see in a grocery store. They are not a domesticated crop like most other nuts, and are mainly wild-harvested from the Amazon rainforest. Some have advocated this as a model of a sustainable economic activity in the rainforest, but other studies have noted that in areas where nuts are heavily harvested, the regeneration of the species is poor.

    Fyi, your spoiler formatting didn’t work maybe the colon after Example spoiled the formatting?

    Nevermind, it’s just that my client doesn’t support that formatting. Carry on.
