Roasted Sacha Inchi Seeds

What has more fiber than chickpeas, apples and broccoli, has more protein than cashews, almonds and walnuts, is a complete protein (30% protein by weight) and has a lot of tryptophan content to reduce appetite?  Meet the exotic Sacha Inchi.  The seed of the Plukenetia volubilis plant tastes like a nut and is nicknamed Inca Nuts (they grow well in South America), Mountain Peanut or Sacha Peanut.  Thailand, where we’ve sourced these plump Sacha Inchi crunchy nuts, has cultivated these nuts, which originated in South America and the Caribbean.

 

Now that you’re familiar with what it is, let’s learn what it tastes like.  Some folks call this superfood nut the “truffle of nuts” because it has an umami flavor with a nutty finish.  It works well in recipes, blending perfectly into your favorite power shake, supercharging your green salads and giving a pop of protein and fiber (not to mention rich nut taste) to your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe.  Oh, and these yummy exotic nuts work well as a stand-alone snack for a quick energy boost. 

 

For those on restricted diets, and for the health-conscious, Inca Peanuts are perfect.  They are a great dietary boost on the Paleo, Keto-friendly, Vegan, low-carb, diabetic and gluten free diets.  In fact, Sacha Inca has an Omega 3 to Omega 6 ratio of 1:1.15, which is considered ideal on the Paleo diet.  It also offers many vitamins and minerals including a huge wallop of anti-aging Vitamin E.
