I had to leave a comment because I just attended the Fancy Food Show in DC and found Sacha Vida oil there!! The oil is made from the sacha inchi seeds and had a nutty flavor and it was surprisingly light, too bad I could not get a sample there because I really enjoyed it. Does anyone know if I can find it in WholeFoods?

Do you carry the powder? I am currently trying to find this in powder form.

Thanks!

Thanks for the article! I’ve been in love with the peruvian products showing up.. Sacha inchi, quinoa, amaranth/kichiwa(?), maca; all filled with sustainable nutritional goodness! My new alpaca blanket has been keeping me blessedly warm this cold winter, so I am very thankful to the Incans, and the people bringing good stuff back.

Does the Sacha Inchi seed need to be roasted?

Just stopped at Whole Foods and bought the sacha inchi nuts:roasted seeds instead of cookies. They are a crunchy tasty treat and not quite as heavy as a walnut. I read that the Omega 3 in these is a different form than fish, and I was disappointed to read about the rancid fat aspect, but I think it’s still better than the cookies I almost grabbed.

Well, I’m a sucker for all things new…my curiosity got the best of me and I snagged one of the Sacha Inchi – Tamari flavored bags off the shelf. My Husband and son were not crazy about the taste..but, I’m one of those people that will give anything and everything a fair chance (think Vegas buffet…). Anyway, on first bite they tasted a bit like a dry, dusty soybean pod and then it hit me…like a blast of smooth oiliness it seemed to coat my tongue and then the feasting began. After consuming more then my 1 serving I can say that I believe the tamari covers some of the “fishy”, or as my husband thinks “chemically” taste, but, I kinda like ‘um! I may try the sweet version next time, I did not see them on the shelf when I purchased these or my sweet tooth might have gotten the best of my decision making on that one….I believe the other posters are correct about heating the oils possibly destroying all the goodness and I certainly wouldn’t consider them a superfood served this way, but as an occasional snack…toss me a bag!

Roasting seeds/heating fats is a ‘no’ that anyone interested in food or nutrition shouild know. But I’ve had some other problems with TerrAmazon’s lack of nutrition knowledge.

I picked up the terramazon yakon slices, and fell in love with them. So i went to the terramazon website. There I realized that the nutrition information they had listed on the website did not match up to the nutrition information printed on the package; a calorie difference of 75 as well as other vitamin and fat content differences. Thinking maybe it was a type-o, the next time i was in wholefoods i picked up another bag of yakon slices. Still the same misprint. I also picked up the TerrAmazon Sacha Inchi: sweet. I noticed that there was a re-printed sticker nutrition label on the back. I peeled off the sticker. The original nutrition label matches the website, but the re-print doesn’t match anything. I think the brand definetly needs a little bit more ‘fine tuning’ I will not be buying TerrAmazon products again for a while.
