if someone goes to that market ,i will be interested to get from this person
pistachios and peanuts  that will be sent here in british colombia in
exchange for filberts and walnuts fresh possibly not dried yet if required
quickly.if you are into raw animal meats i can provide also dried salmon
,shrimps ,grass fed lambs and highland cattle .
or get the direct connection of the organic farmer that propose them .

they will have to be organic or at least from a very small farmer as i don't
want to support in any way the chemical  agro business.( don't even want
ever to support the organic agro business but am more okay with it ).

eating nuts fresh before they dry don't present the problem that nuts are
accused often of creating , from my experience .
