We’d be horrible, horrible liars if these nuts didn’t bring the burn. Try My Nuts on Fire is one of our hotter hot nuts. These peanuts are coated in habanero peppers and other spices for the heat that nut lovers crave.

Well, now that you’ve realized that your nuts are on fire, what are you going to do about it? Don’t worry. We’ve got you covered. Whether or not you’re used to the heat, here’s what you should do.

What to Do about Hot Nuts

So you’ve got hot nuts. Hey, it happens. We’ve all been curious at one point or another. When you didn’t expect the heat level, though, there are some things you can do to stop the burn. First of all, you can sweeten your nuts with some sugar. Yes, really. Sweet foods counteract hot nuts. It’s literally science. Another thing that we’ve mentioned a couple of times is using dairy to cool your nuts. Milk, yogurt, and other things like that have proteins that work to neutralize nut burn. Again, science.

Another thing that you can do is build up your tolerance to hot nuts. Believe it or not, Try My Nuts on Fire are the perfect nuts to help you get started. Those nuts may be on fire, but they’re not nearly as hot as, say, the nuts in the Tube of Terror Challenge. Those nuts are for the hardcore nut fire enthusiasts. You may very well reach that point, but there’s no shame in knowing your limits. Anyway, Try My Nuts on Fire. Eat them one at a time. Savor those nuts and enjoy the heat slowly.

Enjoy the Burn

Now, you may enjoy having your Nuts on Fire, and there’s no shame in that, either. Some people are just into that sort of thing. There’s no rhyme or reason. So, why are people into that? It’s all about the endorphins, baby. Hot nuts and other spicy foods trigger pain receptors. Pain receptors tell your body to release endorphins, and endorphins make us happy. That’s right. Having your Nuts on Fire can literally make you happy, and you have a scientific excuse for it. So go forth and enjoy your nuts.

Meanwhile, if you’re looking for a good nut supplier, you can always Try My Nuts. We’ve got all the hot nuts and cool nuts that your heart desires.

Feel the Burn

Hey, hot stuff, can you feel the burn? Do you know someone who loves the heat? In any group, there’s always someone with dragon breath. Typically a mild-mannered person, this pepper fanatic morphs into a fire eater who claims, “That’s not hot – I add a ton of hot peppers to my chili!” We all know someone who chomps jalapeno peppers like strawberries and who opens his cupboard – is it true that it’s always a guy? – to show you his spread of hot sauces. Well, here’s the world’s hottest gift for that character: a chance to grow the world’s hottest peppers with Try My Nuts. The heat in peppers comes from a chemical compound called capsaicin (pronounced cap-SAY-sin), which has all kinds of uses. It is used for bear spray and to reduce pain from arthritis, psoriasis, and shingles. And it’s used to put both pain and flavor in your food. When ordering peppers, most packages come marked with Scoville Heat Units (SHUs) that identify the intensity of the heat. Sweet peppers get 0 SHUs...

And Now In Other News: Cashews You Can Use

See that person standing next to the bowl of Try My Nuts ? Yes, that's the one, chatting it up with anyone who'll listen. You know what's happening, don't you? That person is creating a diversion, hoping no one will notice how close they are to the cashews while innocently reaching toward the bowl, popping morsel after morsel into their mouth. You thought we wouldn't notice, didn't you? Ah, but we did. There's a sneaky Pete at every wedding, family gathering, and potluck. How do we know? We know what they're doing because we do the same thing. We position ourselves just so and look harmless while we zero in on the cashews. We carefully survey the bowl and casually slip the cashews into our hands, never letting anyone else know what we're doing. Consider this fair warning: if not monitored, every last cashew will be gone, missing from the bowl, never seen again. Don't bother shaming us with guilt; it won't work. We have no remorse. We love o...
