About Our Sacha Inchi Powder

Sacha inchi means “The People’s Seeds” in the Quechua language, and the star-shaped pods from the vine of the sacha inchi tree yield nuts that are also known as Incan Peanuts. Indigenous tribes dating back to the Incas have used sacha inchi to maintain good general health and well-being.

Our Organic Gelatinized Sacha Inchi Powder hails from the Amazon regions of Peru, where it is responsibly harvested. Support for this new superfood has made it possible for the Amazon regions to experience positive land use and sustainable cultivating practices for vital food crops.

Our Organic Gelatinized Sacha Inchi Powder does not contain GMOs and is minimally processed to retain the nutrient-dense benefits that are gaining quick popularity in the West. You can enjoy our Organic Gelatinized Sacha Inchi Powder in smoothies, cereals, desserts, and baked goods.

Storage Instructions

If cared for properly, our Organic Raw Sacha Inchi Protein Powder has a shelf life of two to three years. To preserve the freshness of this product:

• Avoid exposure to heat. The powder will remain fresh if stored at room temperature or below.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight.
• Squeeze all of the air out of the bag before sealing.
• Seal the bag tightly after each use.
• Store the powder in a dry place, and avoid all contact with moisture.

Packaging

We package all of our superfood powders in all-natural brown kraft bags, each with a resealable zipper across the top. Each bag has a thin metal lining, which serves as a very effective barrier to light, oxygen, odors, flavors, moisture, and bacteria.

While printed plastic bags with clear windows may look beautiful, studies have shown that the toxins contained in the plastic are absorbed by food that is in direct contact with the plastic. Foods that are raw and all-natural, like superfood powders, are even more susceptible to this type of contamination than processed foods.
