Oh, that one. There are other types of nuts here and I didn't know how

they were named in english. That is the "castanha do Pará". "Castanha"

is the portuguese for chestnut and "do Pará" means that it is from the

state of Pará, a federation state here in Brazil, which belongs to the

Amazon ecosystem. Of course, it occours in all the Amazonic region.

The pronounce of "castanha" has a gotcha: the "nha" is pronounced as

ña in spanish (hard to explain in text form). And Pará has the last

syllable as the strong one.
