Product Summary: Plukenetia volubilis, commonly known a sacha inchi, sacha peanut, mountain peanut or Inca-peanut, is a perennial plant with somewhat hairy leaves. In indigenous amazonian language “Sacha” means “looks like” and “inchi” means “nuts” – literally “looks like a nut” – although they are actually toasted seeds. The virtues of Sacha Inchi have been known by the indigenous peoples of Peru for many generations. Long revered as the “Inca nut”, lithographs recovered from Incan pottery suggest a tradition of Sacha Inchi use that extends back thousands of years. Sacha Inchi seeds produce an extraordinary quantity of oil, yielding nearly 50% of their initial mass as high-quality raw oil. An analysis of the EFA (Essential Fatty Acid) profile of Sachi Inchi reveals balanced lipids with significant amounts of Omega 3, 6, and 9. It also contains a broad spectrum of essential and non-essential amino acids. Our Sacha Inchi oil is extracted from the raw seeds of the fruit through a cold-press procedure without heat or chemicals. Sacha Inchi is a forest crop and encourages reforestation of the Amazon. It has a faster and more positive impact on soils and farms than that of other oil producing plants. The harvest supports indigenous families. A fast growing, tropical forest crop, it quickly covers soils damaged from logging or pasturing of animals. Sacha Inchi seeds have an oil content of nearly 50%! The oil is extracted by simple cold pressing and does not require refining. INGREDIENTS: 100% Organic Cold Pressed Sacha Inchi Oil
