GHF
Sustainable Practices that guarantee healthy food
We are a company that seeks to generate a positive socio-environmental impact that proposes to work in a different way, sharing value with society.GHF was born with the purpose of bringing real food from the Amazon to the world, combining health and sustainability. Health because our products are natural and with high nutritional value. Sustainability because we value those who live and care for our forests and all of their biodiversity.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
We work with the commercialization of Brazil nuts based on transparency and fair trade. Thus, the standing forest generates income and, consequently, is valued and conserved. And the excellence in quality of our processes guarantees an extremely nutritious Brazil nut, with exceptional flavor and crunchiness.
The Industry
In order to fulfill our commitment to provide fresh, crunchy and highly nutritious Brazil nuts year round, GHF has a high standard of industrial quality that guarantees excellence in the processing of nuts.
When your order is placed, the chestnuts go through a careful process that starts with a washing, followed by drying and autoclaving, which increases the amount of whole chestnuts in the process of breaking the shells. The process is continued with a mix of electronic and manual selection of the nuts, which then go to sterilization by pasteurization, eliminating any risk of contamination.
From there, the nuts are automatically classified by size and types and then undergo a rigorous final quality control. The Brazil nuts are then packaged to reach you with incredible flavor, crunchiness and quality.
This entire industrial process takes place at Borello Alimentos’ facilities in Sinop (Mato Grosso). The company has a strict food safety system, which manages and controls all possible risks to human health and product quality, recognized by the FDA, the federal agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, and with HACCP certification.

OUR ORIGIN
GHF superfoods are collected by indigenous peoples and traditional quilombola and riverside communities, which for hundreds of years have lived in balance with the forest through the practice of sustainable extraction. The collection of Brazil nuts is a traditional activity directly linked to the culture of these communities and, very often, it´s their main source of income.
Our partnership for supply of raw materials is the way we find to support and finance the local bioeconomy.
In this way, GHF seeks to not only commercialize Brazil nuts, but also to give value the whole story behind it, specially the people who make all of this happen: the Brazil nut collectors.
By consuming GHF Brazil nuts, you value sustainable extraction and, consequently, help us to keep the forest standing.
