Danielle Mitzman

Brazil. Home to the Brazil nut and it’s much lesser-known cousin, the castanha de Baru (or Baru nut). It’s tasty, high in protein, and low in fat. But for the slow movement, the Baru nut is more. It’s a symbol of traditional, local farming methods and products which have been protected and even promoted. Dany Mitzman gives us a taste of the Baru nut and what it means to Brazil.

First broadcast on Earth Beat, Radio Netherlands Worldwide, 16th April, 2010
