If you love peanuts and cashews, beeline for Baru Nuts! Hailing from the Brazilian savanna, the Baru nut has less calories and more fiber and protein than almonds, walnuts and Brazil nuts. These nutritious nuts taste like a cashew-peanut hybrid and are downright delicious. Enjoy Barus straight out of the bag as a filling snack, tossed over salad or blended into smoothies for a generous source of plant-based protein. We lightly salt and roast this nut in-house for freshness you can taste.
Baru Nuts: The Backstory
Besides its high nutritional value and delicious flavor, the Baru nut has been essential to the economical and ecological support of the Brazilian Savanna—specifically an area known as The Cerrado. Before the Baru nuts’ health benefits were recognized, the people of The Cerrado were deforesting the savanna at an alarming rate for charcoal mining and cattle ranching—central sources of economic stability in the area. With the Baru nut catching the attention of nutritionists in the U.S., the Cerrado community has begun to maintain existing trees to harvest Baru.This change has helped improve the ecology of the region.
Barus also happen to have a lower water footprint (that is, the water required to grow and transport the nut) than almost all other nuts and seeds, making it a pro-planet pick.

This is a seed that I recently discovered while traveling in Brazil. I never imagined I would be able to find them here in the States, but Nuts.com came through for me (again! see my review on the Peanut Crunch). These are from trees that are native to the cerrado (savannah) in Brazil and are technically seeds, not nuts, so they technically would not be a problem for people with tree nut allergies. The only caveat to that is that they could be processed on equipment that touches tree nuts, so it pays to be cautious. They are high in protein, iron, zinc, magnesium and fiber. At first glance, with their dark skin, they look burned, but they aren't. That is the natural color of the skin of the seed. They are a bit on the hard side, and do have a slightly peanut flavor, although I kind of pick up more of a sunflower seed/almond flavor. I'm glad I can get them here, and know that eating them is also contributing to the preservation of these trees in the areas where they grow naturally.
