Sacha Inchi Nuts

What is Sacha Inchi?


Sacha Inchi is a super nutritious plant that has been consumed by the indigenous communities of the Amazon for thousands of years. It originated as a wild food source and is now being grown more widely on farms.


The plant grows as a vine that can reach up to 2 meters in height, producing star-shaped pods that contain small, edible seeds. Sacha Inchi seeds have mild flavor and nutty taste.

In recent years, this little nut has gained attention due to its high nutritional value and has been marketed as a superfood. It is packed with protein and healthy omega fatty acids, along with a range of essential amino acids and nutrients.
