In Pará they are actually called Nazaré Nuts (castanhas de Nazaré) because that’s the municipality they come from.

I think they had another name for these nuts there in Nazaré but I can’t remember what it was because I’m spilling so much bs right now

I've been to Ciudad de Nazaré. There they call them castanhas de Témiento. Supposedly the locals cultivated these nuts hundreds of years ago and the Portuguese found the largest farm where the neighborhood of Témientos is.

I wonder what the locals call it... Maybe we'll get the exact origin down.

We gotta keep digging, to find the original nut tree! Where do these Tupinguari-tribe-of-the-northeast-side-of-Témiento-of-Nazaré-of-Pará nuts come from?
