Relatively unknown outside of South America, Inca Snacks (Sacha Inchi seeds) are considered a “super-food” primarily for their health benefits. The seeds possess a high concentration of Omega 3 (48%) with low saturated fatty acids (6%), contain anti-inflammatory properties with Vitamin A and Vitamin E, and are a great source of protein (30%). Inca Snacks products contain a perfectly balanced mixture of healthy omega 3-6-9 fatty acids, and are considered one of the richest sources of protein in the world because they contain all nine essential amino acids. Inca Snacks are also loaded with fiber, antioxidants, vegan, gluten-free, have a high content of vitamin A and E, and are Organic! Indigenous to Colombia and Peru, Sacha Inchi has been part of the Inca diet for 3,000 years. The plant is a rain-forest vine, with star-shaped pods. They have a unique, mild, nutty taste that can be compared to that of a peanut with a slight woody flavor. The Sacha Inchi plant, Plukenetia volubilis, is a rain-forest vine, with star-shaped seed pods, meaning that Inca Peanuts are technically seeds, not nuts.
