About Baru nuts
Baru nuts are nutrient-rich seeds native to the Cerrado savanna in Brazil. Packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats, they offer a well-rounded nutritional profile, making them a great plant-based option for energy and satiety. Higher in protein than many other nuts and seeds, they also boast essential minerals like magnesium, zinc, and iron, alongside antioxidants that may support heart health and reduce inflammation. With a naturally low oil content compared to traditional nuts, they are a lighter choice while still satisfying. Traditionally used by indigenous populations, baru nuts are versatile in modern cuisine—roasted as snacks, blended into nut butter, or added to granola and salads. They are naturally gluten-free and have a subtly sweet, nutty flavor. Notably, those with tree nut allergies should exercise caution, as their allergenic potential is still being studied. Eco-conscious consumers appreciate their sustainable cultivation, tied to preserving Brazil’s fragile Cerrado ecosystem.
