The Incredible Baru Nut: An Interview with Superfood Hunter Darin Olien

Better Food Stories

On this episode I'm chatting with global “superfood hunter” and co-founder of BaruÌkas nuts, Darin Olien.

Perhaps best known for developing an ongoing formulation of fitness company Beachbody’s wildly successful whole-food supplement, Shakeology (narrating his experience in his book Superlife: The 5 Forces That Will Make You healthy, Fit & Eternally Awesome) — Darin is on his next quest as the co-founder of Barùkas, a good-for-you, good-for-the-planet superfood company, bringing the most nutrient dense (and unknown) nut on the planet from Brazilian Cerrado in South America to the U.S.

In our conversation, we chat:

• All about Baru and what makes this super nut so special
• How his company Barúkas is bringing attention to this special superfood, while facilitating tree planting and fair trade within Brazil’s indigenous communities
• How Darin got the title of "superfood hunter"

... and so much more.

You can also shop this brand on Amazon. Here’s my personal recommendation:
Barukas (Regular, 12 oz.)
