The text claims that placing a nut in hot water for 48 hours is enough to crack it.

Infact verdict: Mostly False (25/100).

The claim that placing a nut in hot water for 48 hours is enough to crack it is not supported by the evidence. Sources suggest that boiling nuts for a short period, such as five minutes, is sufficient for cracking. There is no evidence supporting the need for 48 hours of soaking. Therefore, the claim is likely false.
