Organic Sacha Inchi Seeds

Sacha inchi seeds, also known as Inca peanuts, are the seeds of the Plukenetia volubilis plant, native to the Amazon rainforest. The seeds are typically roasted and then pressed to extract their oil or ground into a butter.

Sacha inchi seeds and their butter are used as a source of plant-based protein and healthy fats. They are found in nut and seed butters, snacks, and as an ingredient in baked goods, often chosen for their nutritional profile.

Sacha inchi seeds are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a good source of protein, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids. While generally considered healthy, no specific regulatory limits or evaluations by bodies like JECFA or EFSA are commonly cited for this ingredient in the context of food additives.
