They’re packed with vitamins & minerals such as magnesium, potassium, iron & zinc - plus, they're absolutely delicious. This superfood is a natural source of plant-based protein that's a perfect addition to any diet on its own or as an ingredient in your favourite recipe.

 

 Our Story

On an adventure across the Cerrado, our founder Jeff Zelinski saw firsthand the widespread deforestation of the area & its devastating impact on the local ecosystem and the families who call it home. When Jeff came across the Baru tree, native only to the Cerrado, he knew it held the keys to widespread change. These trees require low water and maintenance and is fire-resistant, making it a great choice for reforestation.

Today we dedicate our work to influence thousands of lives in a green, socio-economic way. We’re planting trees and creating a better future for over 40 communities in the Chiquitania area and will continue to do so for many more communities in the years to come.

By eating Baruvida, you are helping plant the seeds of change while giving your body the perfect natural fuel for all-around wellness - Thank you for being here!
