We show that in a sample of Extremely Metal-Poor (EMP) giants (<[Fe/H]>=−3.1) all the stars with a luminosity higher than logL/L⊙ ≈ 2.6 present the characteristics of a mixing of the surface with the H-burning layer: low abundance of carbon and high abundance of nitrogen. In these “mixed stars” the lithium abundance and the ratio 12C/13C are very low. Some of these stars are also Na or/and Al rich.
