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 check out show notes to this episode, as well as all past episodes of Better Food Stories on adriagreenhauff.com/podcast. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/adria-greenhauff/support
