Vega Saviseedtm

Vega Saviseed is a plant-based protein powder derived from the seeds of the sacha inchi plant, also known as the Inca peanut. The seeds are typically roasted and then milled into a fine powder. This process helps to break down the seeds and make the protein more accessible for digestion.

Manufacturers add Vega Saviseed primarily for its protein content, serving as a plant-based protein source in various food products. It is commonly found in energy bars, protein drinks, and meal replacement shakes. Its mild, nutty flavor also contributes to the overall taste profile of these products.

Vega Saviseed is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a food ingredient. It is a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have not specifically evaluated Vega Saviseed as a standalone additive, but sacha inchi seeds are a traditional food source. Evidence suggests it is well-tolerated by most individuals.
