MayaNut™ Powder is a premium, caffeine-free powder made from roasted Brosimum alicastrum seeds. Its bold, cocoa-like flavor is perfect for baking, bowls, desserts, drinks, fruit, oatmeal, smoothies, yogurt, and more.
Introducing our premium MayaNut™ Powder, ethically sourced directly from Guatemalan forests and harvested by local families who benefit from the sale of this crop. Two main harvests take place each year, in spring and summer, when the highest-quality Maya nuts are gathered, roasted, and finely ground to order for a smooth dark roast with rich cocoa-like depth and exceptional taste.
Start with a spoonful and adjust to taste. Whisk it into hot water, warm milk, or plant milk for a smooth roasted cup. For an iced version, shake or blend it with cold milk, plant milk, or water, then pour over ice. Stir it into smoothies, oatmeal, or yogurt, dust it over fruit and bowls, or bring its roasted depth into baking. For more ideas, explore our Recipes page
Brosimum alicastrum is one of Mesoamerica’s most versatile food trees, yet it remains little known in many modern markets. Its seeds naturally contain dietary fiber, protein and amino acids, along with minerals including potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc, and copper. They also contain naturally occurring phenolic compounds, carotenoids, and vitamin C. Exact amounts can vary with growing region, harvest, drying, roasting, and serving size, so any specific nutrient claims for MayaNut™ Powder will be based on testing of the finished product.
