Are you familiar with ORAC testing? ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity, which is a lab test that measures the total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of a food or other substance. 🧪

The FDA recommends 3,000-5,000 ORAC rating foods per day for optimal health. For athletes this may need to be higher. The higher the score, the more powerful the food is an antioxidant. 💪

Barùkas is the clear winner.

❓Q: What classifies Barukas as having a low water footprint?

❗A: Nearly all crops use diverted irrigation to supply their water needs, especially most common nuts, since they are grown in water deprived areas where the water needs are excessive. Barùkas nuts (called baru nuts or baru seeds in Brazil) only use rainwater for irrigation and very little water is used during the processing so the overall water footprint for baru nut is very low. 💦

Saturated fat is a type of fat with carbon atoms that have single bonds between their fatty acid chains. It's found naturally in many foods, especially animal products like meat and dairy, as well as tropical fats like coconut and palm. 🌴

The American Heart Association recommends limiting saturated fats. Decades of sound science has proven it can raise your “bad” cholesterol and put you at higher risk for heart disease ♥️

The USDA recommends no more than 30g of saturated fat a day for men and for women, it’s under 20g per day.

Barùkas is one of the only nuts on the planet that has less than 1 gram of saturated fat per 30g serving. The choice is clear 🫶

1 bundle of chives
100g of chickpea flour
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt to taste

✳️ How to prepare ✳️

Ingredients should be homogenous roughly 4-5 minutes.
Remove and add to a large container.
Add the chickpea flour and mix well.

The perfect pick-me-up snack when you’re on the go! 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️

Thursdays 🧠

The USDA recommends that healthy adults over the age of 19 consume between 20 and 35 percent of their daily calories from fat. This translates to 44–78 grams of fat per day on a 2,000 calorie diet. 🍽️

One serving of Barùkas nuts contains only 9.5 grams of fat. Which means you can enjoy a snack without utilizing a big portion of your fat calories — like some of the other “healthy” nuts out there.

Potassium is an essential mineral for the body's functions. It helps your nerves, muscles and heart to function well, and also helps move nutrients and waste around your body's cells. ❤️

Clearly, the baru nut outperforms just about every nut on the planet in Potassium. (The pistacchio nut is the only nut we have found that contains anything close to the amount of potassium found in the baru nut).

Just another reason why Barùkas is good for you and good for the planet. 🌎

Nut butters are a great delicious way to satisfy cravings without the guilt, smooth (or crunchy), tasty, versatile.

We started our own version of this old classic, using baru nuts, providing a that is not only amazing (Anything the other nut butters can do, Barùkas can do better) 😋 but also highly beneficial for you, your loved ones and just as important to the benefit of the environment. 🌎

We use extra virgin organic cold pressed coconut oil, since Barukas baru nuts are not as high in lipids as other nuts. Coconut oil is a good source of caprylic acid which the body uses in combination with sulfur containing amino acids cysteine and methionine as well as pantothenic acid (B5) all of these presents in the Barukas baru nuts to create Alpha Lipoic Acid.

Alpha Lipoic acid (ALA) functions are various, which include but not limited to synthesis of nucleic acids, amino acid metabolism, antioxidant effect, enhance glucose cellular uptake, and heavy metal damage control in cells.

To this add all the amazing contributions to your health and well-being that Barukas baru nuts provide, all in a tasty, versatile butter the Barukas way. 🫶
