Sacha inchi (Plukenetia volubilis)

Other names: Inka Peanut

Harm score: 1 (Natural substances)


Sacha inchi, also known as Inka Peanut, is a woody liana native to the tropical regions of South America. With its charming pentagonal fruits, it is a popular herb in the traditional medicine of many South American cultures, where it has been used for millennia. It is highly regarded for its exceptional nutritional value - containing up to 25% high quality protein and up to 60% healthy unsaturated fats, dominated by omega-3 fatty acids. But it is also appreciated for its distinctive, slightly nutty flavour profile.

Sacha inchi oil is very popular in the cosmetics industry due to its strong moisturizing and rejuvenating properties. Thanks to its content of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E and antioxidants, it helps moisturize the skin, restore its elasticity and reduce the signs of aging. Another important product is Sacha inchi seeds, which are a rich source of protein and fibre and are eaten both raw and roasted as a healthy snack. Ground seeds are also used as ingredients in baked goods and various healthy dishes. They are also used to make protein powder, which is used to enrich meals, especially by athletes and people leading an active lifestyle. Sacha inchi is therefore undoubtedly an important plant with many uses.
