The baru nut is the single edible seed of Dipteryx alata, a leguminous tree of the Brazilian Cerrado savanna. Roasted to develop its flavour — it is mildly toxic raw — the almond-shaped kernel tastes like a cross between peanut and cashew, and it has become a sought-after "superfood" snack prized for its high protein and unsaturated-fat content.
What to look for, from just roasted, snapping crisp to soft, greasy, rancid.
