What it is

Saviseed, also known as sacha inchi or Inca peanut, is the seed of a plant native to the Amazon rainforest. The seeds are typically roasted and can be eaten whole, or pressed to extract their oil.

Why it's used

Saviseed is used as a source of plant-based protein and healthy fats. It is often found in snack bars, protein powders, and as a component in plant-based milk alternatives.

Health notes

Saviseed is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a good source of protein, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids. International bodies like EFSA have not specifically evaluated saviseed for food additive purposes. Research suggests it may offer cardiovascular benefits due to its fatty acid profile, but more studies are needed.

Allergen info

Saviseed is not one of the nine major allergens. It is a seed and does not contain gluten.
