For ages now I have n't been able to come across jumbo nuts without shells in the shops....at one time I was able to buy them at my local weigh-in shop but they just seemed to have completely disapeared from everywhere. Can anyone point me in the right direction where to find them as I would like to surprise my husband with a big bag of them at Christmas as a novely present !

    Asda have bags of shelled brazil nuts in the fruit and veg section.

    They also have tins of jumbo peanuts in the Christmas aisle.

    No, there not the kind I want, and Asda jumbo peanuts are without skins in the tin are salted.

    Imagine a peanut with a redskin........like that...but jumbo size. They just don't seem to be about nowadays !

    I'm not sure how jumbo the red skinned ones you want are but I brought red skinned peanuts from holland and Barrett and they seemed bigger than your average one

    Saw some shelled red skinned peanuts in Morrison's today, but they were normal sized.

    No luck at Holland & Barratt...I was told they did stock them before when they were Julian Graves Health Food Shops.
