The Discovery of Barucas

Barucas, a unique nut sourced from the Brazilian savanna, is highlighted as one of the healthiest nuts available, offering at least 25% fewer fat calories than other nuts. This nut is rich in fiber, antioxidants, and essential micronutrients, making it a powerful source of complete protein. The indigenous communities have long known of its benefits, but it remains largely unknown outside of Brazil. The commitment to sustainable harvesting practices not only supports local economies but also promotes the conservation of the Baruzeta tree, further combating deforestation.
