Today I Googled World’s Biggest Nuts


Google, what are the largest nuts in the world?

Brazilian nuts might call the shots in the Planters Mixed Nuts can, but they don’t hold a candle to the big girls in the Maldines. The Coco de Mer nut (Maldive Coconut) is the largest nut in the plant kingdom. Hokey myth has it that sailors used to say it resembled a woman’s disembodied badonkadonk and that is where the botanical classification “Callipyge” meaning “beautiful rump” originated. They also believed it carried powers from Aphrodite and came from a mythical tree at the bottom of the ocean. Nonetheless, due to the rarity of this mystical nut it became revered and over collected and is now an endangered plant that only grows on the protected reserves in the Maldines. SO! In homage to the unfortunate fate of the Maldive Coconut, I decided to write a little ditty in its honor and it goes something like this:

The whole world’s gone nuts!
Nuts over nuts that look like girls butts!
They keep scooping em’ up, committing nut theft
And now pretty soon they’ll be no more nuts left!
