About Pequi flour

Pequi flour is a nutrient-dense product derived from the pequi fruit, native to the Brazilian Cerrado biome. Known for its distinct aroma and bold flavor, pequi is a staple in Brazilian cuisine, particularly in the states of Goiás and Minas Gerais, where it enriches traditional dishes. The flour retains many of the fruit’s beneficial properties, offering a source of healthy fats, antioxidants, vitamins A and E, and essential minerals like magnesium and calcium. These nutrients support skin health, boost immunity, and combat oxidative stress. However, pequi is naturally high in fats, making portion control important for those monitoring calorie intake. Rich in fiber, pequi flour also aids digestion and can be used to enhance baked goods, sauces, or as a seasoning. Its exotic taste and nutritional profile make it a unique addition to health-conscious recipes while celebrating Brazil’s culinary heritage.
