I'm 59, who else knows what my grandma called these? I can't be alone.

Answer

The image shows Brazil nuts in their shells. Given the user's age and the context of what older generations called them, the answer refers to a historically common but now highly offensive and racist slur. In the mid-20th century, particularly in parts of the United States and the United Kingdom, these nuts were frequently referred to as 'n***** toes'. This term has since been replaced by the proper name, Brazil nuts, as society has progressed to recognize the term as a hateful racial slur.
