Sierra Organic Sacha Inchi Nuts is made from Sacha Inchi, also known as the Inca peanut, is the seed of a plant that grows in the jungle highlands of Peru. Despite being a recent discovery in the western health food community, Sacha Inchi has been cultivated and used as a food source for 3,000 years by the natives of the Amazon rainforest. The fruit that these seeds grow in is inedible, but when lightly roasted the seeds take on a nutty flavor. Sacha Inchi contain high levels of omega 3, 6, and 9, protein, alpha tocopherol vitamin E, vitamin A (carotenoids), and fiber.
