Did you know?
Maya nut (technically a seed) is a wild harvested rainforest food that grows on one of the largest trees in the lowland jungles of Mexico, Central and South America and the Caribbean islands of Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti and Trinidad and is one of the most nutritious foods in the world. Maya is naturally caffeine and gluten free, vegan and one of the most “paleo” foods currently available.
OUR PRODUCTS
Maya Nut can be used in a wide variety of sweet and savory food and drinks, and its high fiber and nutrient content help keep you healthy and happy. Maya nuts & powders help you strengthen your overall gut health, assist with food sensitivities, digestive issues, IBS, Crohn’s and other autoimmune diseases and can help kick your coffee habit.
OUR ROOTS
With the help of The Maya Nut Institute, 50% of proceeds from the sale of Maya Superfoods products goes to support our programs. We provide training, jobs and income for women, Maya school snacks for children in Central America and reforestation of Maya trees in deforested regions throughout Central and South America as well as Haiti.
OUR MISSION
Since we started work in 2001, more than 600 rural and indigenous women have formed 25 different autonomous businesses to produce and market Maya Nut products and to teach workshops to other women.
Women are the primary beneficiaries of our programs. We work with women because they are a critical link between the family and the environment, and because they are responsible for the health of the family. We have found that healthy families are better able to care for the environment because they can make sound decisions based on logic rather than desperate decisions based on immediate need for food, medicine or school materials.
