Frequently Asked Questions
What do sacha inchi seeds taste like?
Mild, slightly grassy, nutty flavor similar to roasted sunflower seeds or mild peanuts. Roasting enhances the flavor and makes them crunchier.
Are sacha inchi seeds better than fish oil?
Sacha inchi provides plant-based ALA omega-3, while fish provides EPA/DHA. ALA must convert to EPA/DHA (limited conversion), so they complement rather than replace fish oil.
Can I eat sacha inchi seeds raw?
Raw seeds contain anti-nutrients. Always consume roasted or cooked sacha inchi. The roasting process makes them safe and improves digestibility.
