THE MOST INTERESTING NUT YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF
Discover the Nut That’s Changing the Snack game
Baru nuts are nature’s ultimate super-snack. They’re a crunchy, nutty delight that some think taste like a combination of cashews, almonds, and peanuts. With 7 grams of protein, 4 grams of fiber, and fewer calories than popular nuts like macadamias, walnuts, pecans, and peanuts, Baru nuts are up there with the healthiest of nuts.
Rooted in Nature, Backed by Purpose
Baru nuts hail from the vast and ecologically rich Cerrado region of South America, a biodiverse land spanning nearly 500 million acres in Brazil. The Cerrado plays a crucial role in stabilizing the globalclimate. Unfortunately, like the Amazon rainforest, this critical ecosystem faces deforestation threats from industrial agriculture.
Baru nuts grow wild without pesticides, fertilizers, or irrigation. Harvesting them supports indigenous communities and incentivizes forest conservation. By choosing Baru nuts, you’re not just making a healthier snack choice—you’re helping to preserve one of theplanet’s most vital ecosystems.
How Your Choice Makes a Difference
Our partners are reforesting the Cerrado with drought and fire-resistant Baruzeiro trees, which provide habitat for wildlife, prevent soil erosion, and combat climate change through carbon sequestration. These trees thrive in challenging environments, ensuring the sustainability of Baru nut production.
The harvest process is deeply rooted in community empowerment. Local farmers, primarily women, gather the nuts during the July-September season. Families plant up to 200 trees annually, creating sustainable income sources while preserving the natural landscape. Commercial ranchers also adopt Baru trees, which provide shade for cattle and improve pasture quality.
Snack with Impact
When you choose Baru nuts, you’re fueling your body while supporting global sustainability. Every bite helps protect the endangered Cerrado, empowers indigenous communities, and contributes to environmental conservation. Meet Baru – the nut that’s as good for the planet as it is for you.
