Amazon nuts and raw Macadamia: fair, sustainable, good!
21.11.18
From the commitment to weave and enhance sustainable food chains for the environment and workers, and to discovering and promoting new ORGANIC and SUPPORTIVE supply chains, we present AMAZONIAN NUTS from Bolivia and MACADAMIA from Kenya.
AMAZON NUTS - BOLIVIA 120g — BIO-SOLIDARITY
What are they?
Known as Brazilian nuts, they are the seeds of one of the tallest trees in the Amazon rainforest, and grow in Bolivia, Brazil and Peru. From large round woody fruits, 15 to 23 Amazonian nuts are obtained, large seeds shaped like a clove and covered with a dark shell.
Who produces them?
Indigenous associations of the Bolivian Amazon where several thousand Amazonian natives reside who base 75% of their income on this agroforestry resource.
Why are they good for you?
Amazon nuts have remarkable organoleptic (high sapidity) and nutritional (complete and digestible) properties.
A handful of these nuts are an important source of proteins, vitamins, polyunsaturated fatty acids and micronutrients, in particular they are rich in selenium and Omega 6, optimal antioxidant factors for cellular health. Naturally gluten-free.
How do they eat them?
They can be eaten whole as an energy snack or chopped into garnishes for savory dishes (salads, mince and pesto) and desserts (cookies and cakes). Also eaten in a mix with other nuts and dehydrated fruit.
Raw MACADAMIA - KENYA 80g — BIO-SOLIDALE
What is it?
A nut with a very hard shell that grows in clusters on trees native to Australia spread today throughout the tropical and subtropical belt.
Why is it good for you?
Very rich and complete food, a source of polyunsaturated fatty acids and many essential amino acids, rich in minerals, vitamins A, B1 and B2, and micronutrients such as potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and calcium, and, in smaller quantities, iron, selenium, zinc and copper. Protective for aging and the heart.
Naturally gluten-free.
How do you eat?
As a raw snack or as a rich garnish for vegetable creams, savory pies, or for dry desserts such as pies and biscuits. Food highly valued in macrobiotic, vegan, but also energetic cuisine for young people and athletes.
