Learn MoreBaru nuts are the seeds of the giant Baruzeiro tree, native to the endangered Cerrado savannah in Bolivia, Brazil, and Paraguay. These trees are crucial for stabilizing soil, preventing flooding, and providing habitat for wildlife. Baru nuts are known for their tough shells and are similar in taste to a mix of peanuts and almonds, often consumed with their nutrient-rich, brown papery skin. We collaborate with local communities to collect these nuts, offering a vital source of income.
