Sacha Inchi: The Ancient Superfood of the Amazon
Known for millennia as the ‘Inca peanut’, sacha inchi (Plukenetia volubilis) has been cultivated by pre-Columbian civilisations for its extraordinary nutritional value. Today, it is recognised globally as one of the planet’s most potent plant-based sources of healthy fats and complete proteins.

Why incorporate it into your daily routine?

• Record levels of Omega-3 (up to 50 per cent): Supports heart health, regulates cholesterol and reduces inflammation in the body.
• Balanced levels of Omega-6 and Omega-9: Strengthens the cell membrane, supports memory and protects the nervous system.
• Complete plant-based protein: The roasted seed provides around 30% protein and contains all the essential amino acids, ideal for muscle regeneration and sustained energy.
• Natural antioxidant: Rich in vitamin E, it combats cellular ageing and nourishes the skin and hair from the inside out.

Ways to consume

• Cold-pressed oil: Consume it raw (1 tablespoon a day). Add it to salads, bowls, smoothies or steamed vegetables after cooking to preserve the omegas.
• Roasted seeds (snack): Crunchy and nutritious. A small handful a day (8 to 12 roasted seeds) provides a feeling of fullness and clean energy. (Note: the seeds should always be eaten roasted, never raw).
