Barukas Brazil

WELCOME TO THE WORLD’S MOST NUTRITIOUS NUT.

WE DELIVER NUTRITION AND SUSTAINABILITY TO YOU,
SO THAT YOU CAN LIVE A HEALTHIER LIFE.

Barùkas sets industry standards with rigorous quality testing, ensuring unmatched safety and excellence. While others may
imitate, we remain the best choice for a commitment
to quality and sustainability—our legacy is your choice.

The baru nut, valued by communities in the South American
Cerrado for centuries, is now gaining global attention. This
biodiverse savannah supports 5% of the world’s biodiversity
and is crucial as South America’s “water cradle.” However, it
faces significant threats from deforestation, making
conservation efforts vital.

Barùkas is dedicated to sustainable practices that protect this
unique environment. By assigning economic value to the baru
fruit, we empower local communities to care for their land,
fostering both conservation and community development.

With every Barùkas product sold, you contribute to reforestation
and ecosystem health. Join us in our mission to safeguard this
incredible biome while enjoying the rich flavors and nutritional
benefits of the baru nut.

When you plan for a healthy lifestyle, nutritious food should be
a priority.

At Barùkas, we are committed to delivering the highest quality
baru nuts and our quality control begins even before we make
a purchase.

We work closely with local gatherers year-round, providing
guidance on the optimal timing and methods for picking the
baru fruit. We ensure they take special care when cracking the
fruit to extract the nut and follow proper storage practices.

To guarantee only the best baru nuts, gatherers conduct an
initial pre-selection. Our rigorous standards continue at our
specialised factory, which holds multiple quality control
certifications, ensuring that each Barùkas nut meets our
standards.

We are the only Baru company that conducts rigorous testing
at renowned laboratories. This ensures our products deliver all
the essential nutrients while remaining free from harmful
substances such as pesticides, heavy metals, pathogens,
and acrylamides among others.

With over 16 years of trust and collaboration, we’ve built a special
relationship that not only guarantees just compensation but also
strengthens the bond between us and the communities we support.

More than 10,000 families have benefited by selling their
fruit to Barùkas.

We believe that human health is inseparable from the health of
nature—because we are nature.

That’s why our mission is to inspire people to embrace a regenerative
lifestyle through mindful food choices, sustainable consumption, and
conscious daily habits.

We are deeply committed to supporting sustainable extractivism in
the harvesting of baru nuts. Our methods ensure that the nuts are
collected in their natural environment without harming the ecosystem.

We also work closely with local gatherers, providing guidance on the
responsible management of both the fruit and the trees.
