Sacha inchi (Plukenetia Volubilis) is a perennial plant that produces large, edible seeds. It is rich in nutrients like omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, protein, and antioxidants. It’s native to parts of South America like Peru and the Caribbean. Sacha inchi is sometimes referred to as Sacha peanut, jungle peanut, or Inca peanut.

Like flaxseed oil, sacha inchi is a potent source of fatty acids. It is exceptionally high in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a type of omega-3 fatty acid found in plants, and linoleic acid, a variety of omega-6 fatty acids.

Sacha inch seeds should be roasted before they are consumed. The roasted ground seeds may be used in food products like protein powders and cereals. The seeds can also be pressed for their oils, which are then used for cooking or adding to dietary supplements.
