Barukas Supernuts | Roasted to Perfection | Non-GMO | Vegan and Paleo Friendly | High Protein and Fiber Snack, 12 oz

Love these nuts. They are more healthy & nutritious than Brazil nuts & they are my favorite. They kind of taste are like roasted peanuts in my opinion & I like those as well. Always having a healthier option in my book goes a long way! Will purchase again. They are crunchy & not too hard but I will say take your time when your biting into them.

I read about the baru nut in a Robb Report magazine wellness section and just had to find out more about them. My research led me to realize just how amazing they are. I initially was going to buy a smaller bag, but all of the reviews and descriptions sounded amazing. So, I decided to order the large bag and I'm glad I did. I received the bag promptly and decided to cut it open right away. Immediately when I opened the bag I was engulfed in an almost intoxicating aroma similar to peanuts, but stronger and sweeter. I grabbed a couple and popped them into my mouth and started chewing. The texture was somewhat like almonds, but crunchier. The taste was like that of peanuts but again sweeter. The real reason I'm glad I bought the large bag is because I liked them so much that I took them to work to share them. I felt compelled to try to spread the word about this product and what better way than sharing. I probably gave out a quarter of the bag, but I'm not complaining. When reading that the trees are scarce, and unless people buy them exporters may not buy them I had to help promote them. The people at work loved them and two people I know have already ordered a bag.Personally I think these are the best nuts I have ever had, and as soon as I run out I will be re-ordering them. The nutritional profile is amazing with 30g containing 8g of fiber, 7g protein, 19% of magnesium, 15% potassium, 32% of vitamin e. This is by far the best food I have purchased from amazon. Do your health, tastebuds and yourself a favor and don't think twice buy them. I guarantee that you will love them. Unless you like salty products then you might have a problem.

Sampled 1/4 cup from each. Took off all the brown shelling (had to dampen the tips of my fingers and twist that apart on each). The roast and taste is even for Barukas (I set aside two w/odd pattern and found they were still okay to eat). Tio Bertos appears and taste uneven with the roast...some were too burnt to eat so I set those aside (1 in that burnt pile is just impossible to remove the brown shell it ended up being okay to eat with the brown shell). I wish Tio Bertos was better because the price is good! I may stick with Barukas though for the consistency and even flavor. I guess it ends up costing the same since some of Tio Bertos are inedible.

This nut isn't a true nut but a legume similar to a peanut. If you are allergic to peanuts this could be a good substitute. It is high in fiber and has a dry texture. It tastes like a peanut and maybe a cashew mixed with it. Overall it has a decent taste and because of the fiber you can't eat a lot like some nuts. You could probably make this into nut butter if you wanted to. Some of the nuts seem over roasted, but overall this isn't a major issue. Because these have a lower fat content they are harder and crunchier than most nuts. This is not keto friendly and for me a bit pricey for a possible peanut alternative. But if you are allergic to other nuts this may work for you .

These nuts are nuts. As a vegan, they had me at "complete essential amino acid profile." They could taste like dusty old gym socks, and I would have ordered them. That's not what they taste like. On the Rich Roll Podcast, the taste was described as "if a peanut went to bed with popcorn." That is accurate. The instant I crunched one of these magical nuggets, a voice cried out from deep in the wells of my soul: "MAKE THIS A NUT BUTTER!" "But I've never made nut butter before," I argued. "NUT BUTTEEEEEEEER!!!" the voice insisted. When I regained consciousness, I found a simple nut butter recipe open on the computer. Fifteen minutes in the blender later, I had a scratch-made butter made of exotic Brazilian nuts. Life will never be the same. The taste: special. The texture: smooth but with just a hint of crunch. A baru nut butter and fig jelly sandwich on whole wheat bread transported me to another plane of existence.The nuts themselves, butter aside, are really something exciting. The flavor and mouthfeel are very accessible. The macronutrient profile and micronutrient mix look more like a well-balanced meal than a single food item. The idea of a handful of nuts serving as a total meal replacement is ridiculous. These things really need to be a rare superfood; it's not fair to other foods.

Barukas, or baru nuts, are a Brazilian nut that has the potential to be a great new foodid favorite. Most important thing is it is delicious. It is hard to describe the flavor. It is a little sweeter than cashews, but with a milder flavor than peanuts or almonds. They are on the harder side (although I don't know how much roasting affects texture). They are being called a superfood because they are loaded with minerals and antioxidants (like many nuts), but whereas it is common for nuts to get 2/3 of their calories from fat, barukas only derive 1/4 of their calories from fat.They are a tree nut (the fruit looks like an air-borne potato). But the tree is in the legume family, making barukas a distant relative of peanut and soybeans. The nuts have an edible skin, also like peanuts.

I know Dr. Gundry says they are good for you and I tried them but they were very difficult to process into nut butter. The nut butter had a very good taste but the processing even with the food processor was difficult. My husband tried to eat one and could not eat it as it was too hard to chew.

Recently saw these nuts advertised on tv to be a great superfood and though I would try them. Wasn't sure if I would like them but they actually taste really good and I feel great about knowing that it is one of the best healthiest nuts to eat. I like it a little bit better when i take off the skin but the skin on doesn't taste that bad either. You should definitely give them a try.
