This what you see in picture is real superfood, called PARA nuts; when you open the ball you find har shelled nuts in an orange form and you have to open those. I have never seen the whole ball in the store, so I believe the nut will be come into the country in hardshelled form like triangels.

It's the last minute to save the real superfood. Cultivated Acai Palm is not anymore superfood, just the gifts what the Nature is giving. If human being touch anything By cultivating or adding something it is not any more Super food. This ia also saving rainforests because without we can only get industrial food.

The Brazil nut tree is predominantly found in the Amazon rainforest of Brazil, although it can also be spotted in Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and Peru. The tree grows best in non-flooding areas of the moist lowland rainforest and is often found within a group of 50 or more similar trees (groupings like this are called “stands”).

Brazil nut trees are sensitive to deforestation, and only seem to produce fruit in undisturbed forest. They depend on agoutis for seed dispersal, bees for pollination and other plants in the rainforest for their continued survival. If these other species disappear, so will the Brazil nut tree.

Brazil nuts are one of the most valuable non-timber products found in the Amazon, usually harvested from the wild by local people. They are used as a protein-rich food source, and their extracted oils are a popular ingredient in many natural beauty products. The collection and sale of Brazil nuts and their offshoots also provides an important source of income for many forest-based communities.
