Number 9 in our Oxalate Clean Fifteen is Baru nuts. These are a new entry into the market, which is good news to those of us who love nuts (but not oxalate). These beauties are just under 2mg oxalate per ounce, which means you can eat a lot of them.
And you might want to eat lots of them! The taste is a cross between an almond and a peanut (in my opinion). Like a peanut, they are technically part of the legume family. They are a bit higher in carbs, at 9g per ounce. But you do get 7g of protein in your serving as well.
You get a healthy dose of minerals in your ounce serving as well, including 5mg iron, 833mg potassium and 167mg calcium. They may also have anti-inflammatory effects similar to other nuts. nutritionadvance.com/baru-nuts/
They can be hard to find. But if you do find them, they are expensive. However, you can do with them what you can do with most other nuts, including making your own nut butter. All you need is a food processor and the patience to wait for the nut butter to be done! 😉
