| Costco has different kinds of nuts but I don't think I've seen Brazil nuts. |

If you buy the mixed nuts container from Costco, there will be some in there. |

Did you know brazil nuts are the most radioactive food on the planet? They even beat bananas which is saying something. Still harmless enough.

I knew that. It's because Brazil nut trees have unusually extensive root systems so they absorb a very high amount of radium from the soil. |

There are Brazil nuts at the Shinsegae department store; I have bought them both at the Myeong Dong branch and the Gang-Nam branch.
Does the foreign goods store in Itaewon have anything that you cannot just as easily find elsewhere?

| Find a Brazilian restaurant - I'm sure if you're cute enough the waiters will give you some Brazilian nuts. |

| In the main supermarket section there's a very large wall with all kinds of nuts. The Brazil nuts were rather expensive: 22,000W for a bag containing around two or three cups worth. Hope that helps! |
