How to keep MongoDB from wrapping integers with NumberInt

I have a web app that posts a JSON request to a Node/Express server, which then inserts a new document into a local MongoDB database using the latest version of the mongodb Node module. When I view the documents using MongoChef, all integers are wrapped with NumberInt(x).

"shirts" : {
    "adult-x-large" : NumberInt(2), 
    "youth-small" : NumberInt(1), 
    "adult-small" : NumberInt(1), 
    "adult-medium" : NumberInt(1)
}

I'm sure these wrappers are useful for certain applications, but I really don't want my JSON filled with them. Is there a way to disable this? I'm not sure if this is a MongoDB issue, a MongoChef issue, or something else entirely.

It is just a display part in MongoChef. If you view the data in "TreeView", it should show the type as Int32 with just numeric value.

As long as the datatye is "Int32", it should be correct and as expected.
