What if there was a nut that tasted like a peanut, was loaded with polyphenols, packed with plant protein, almost entirely made of soluble fiber — and every time you bought it, you were helping protect the Amazon rainforest? In this fascinating clip from The Dr. Gundry Podcast, heart surgeon Dr. Steven Gundry introduces one of his favorite under-the-radar superfoods: the baru nut. Native to the arid regions of Brazil and Bolivia, baru nuts deliver nearly all of their carbohydrates as soluble fiber — meaning they feed your gut microbiome without spiking your blood sugar. Their skin is rich in polyphenols, making them one of the most anti-inflammatory snacks you can reach for. And unlike many trendy health foods, buying baru nuts has a direct positive impact — supporting indigenous communities and helping preserve the precious ecosystems they come from. If you’ve been stuck in a peanut rut, this is the upgrade your gut — and the planet — has been waiting for.
