Sacha inchi seeds, also known as Inca peanuts, come from the Amazon rainforest. They contain one of the highest concentrations of omega-3 fatty acids of any seed, even surpassing chia and flax. Their complete protein profile and mild, nutty taste make them increasingly popular.
Mild, slightly grassy, nutty flavor similar to roasted sunflower seeds or mild peanuts. Roasting enhances the flavor and makes them crunchier.
Sacha inchi provides plant-based ALA omega-3, while fish provides EPA/DHA. ALA must convert to EPA/DHA (limited conversion), so they complement rather than replace fish oil.
Raw seeds contain anti-nutrients. Always consume roasted or cooked sacha inchi. The roasting process makes them safe and improves digestibility.
Store in airtight container in cool, dark place for up to 6 months. Refrigerate for up to 1 year. Oil oxidizes quickly, so keep seeds whole.
