The Sacha Inchi (SAH-CHA-EEN-CHEE) is a beautiful vine plant indigenous to the Peruvian Amazon, which produces star-shaped pods containing seeds sometimes known as Inca nuts. These seeds are an excellent source of highly digestible protein, and its oil is one of the largest plant sources of the omega family of fatty acids, which are essential for human life and can help improve joint health and muscle recovery. It is rich in vitamin A, vitamin E, and iodine as well, making it a nutrient dense superfood! At Sunfood, we offer Sacha Inchi as a protein powder (60% complete protein) as well as a cold-pressed oil. Many following a vegetarian diet use this to provide a plant based source of omega-3 (48% content) and omega-6 (36%). It is also a gluten free, vegan product! The human body cannot produce essential fatty acids, therefore they must be obtained through diet. Omega-3 suppresses inflammation, which is very important considering it is the culprit behind so many degenerative diseases. Sacha Inchi oil is a great supplement for people who choose not to eat fish or do not include enough omega-rich vegetables into their diet. It contains no cholesterol, helps regulate blood sugar levels, reduces arthritis related issues, boosts immunity function, encourages cardiovascular wellness, maintains cell integrity, and promotes optimum health and healing. It should come as no surprise that it means “The People’s Seeds” in the ancient Incan Quechua language! The Sunfood Difference Our delectable Sacha Inchi products come from the Junin region of Peru, on the Amazon jungle side of the Andes mountains. There, it is sustainably and organically grown, which protects the endangered fertile land from being razed to use for raw materials that are less sustainable. Recommended Usage You can add our Sacha Inchi Protein Powder to your daily superfood smoothie, desserts, cereals, or try out our recipe for Creamy Carrot Ginger Soup with Sacha Inchi! |
