What it is

Sacha inchi powder is made from the seeds of the sacha inchi plant, a perennial vine native to the Amazon rainforest. The seeds are typically roasted and then ground into a fine powder. It is known for its nutty flavor and nutritional profile.

Why it's used

Sacha inchi powder is often added to foods as a source of plant-based protein and healthy fats. It is commonly found in protein powders, energy bars, smoothies, and baked goods. Its mild flavor allows it to blend well with other ingredients.

Health notes

Sacha inchi powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a source of omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and fiber. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated sacha inchi oil, but specific evaluations for the powder may vary. Research suggests potential benefits for heart health due to its fatty acid profile, but more studies are needed.

Allergen info

Sacha inchi is botanically related to the nightshade family, not tree nuts. It is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
