A complete plant protein from the Amazon

Most plant proteins are missing one or more essential amino acids. Sacha inchi is different: it is a complete protein, with all nine essential amino acids your body cannot make on its own. It also brings omega-3 and fiber along with it, which pea or rice protein cannot. It is also about 96% digestible, one of the highest figures of any plant protein: its protein is made mostly of light, easily broken-down albumins, and the gentle roasting removes the compounds in the raw seed that would otherwise get in the way. Because it is a seed, not a legume, it is easy on sensitive stomachs too. And the seed is the richest plant source of omega-3 we know of, about 6 times more omega-3 than most everyday sources such as walnuts or fish, and 100% plant-based.

Why Incaliving sacha inchi protein is different

• One ingredient. Organic sacha inchi seed powder. No sweeteners, no flavors, no gums, no sugar.
• Complete amino acid profile, about 96% digestible, plus natural omega-3 and fiber.
• Grown, milled and packaged in Peru, then flown to the USA.
• Certified organic, non-GMO, vegan, gluten free, nut free, soy free, dairy free.

One of the best vegan proteins you can buy

• One ingredient. Organic sacha inchi seed, gently roasted and ground. No pea, no rice, no soy, no sweeteners, no gums, no flavors.
• Complete. All nine essential amino acids, the ones your body cannot make, from a single plant. Most vegan proteins have to blend two or three plants to get there.
• About 96% digestible. Light albumin proteins and gentle roasting mean your body actually uses what you eat.
• No aftertaste. Mild and nutty, with none of the chalky or bitter finish of pea and rice proteins. It disappears into whatever you add it to.
• Works as a flour substitute. Naturally gluten free. Swap it for up to a quarter of the flour in pancakes, muffins, cookies or bread to add protein and omega-3.

Amino acid profile

Milligrams of each essential amino acid per gram of protein. The green bar is sacha inchi; the dark line is the amount an adult needs according to the FAO/WHO reference pattern. Sacha inchi meets or beats the reference for eight of the nine, and comes within a whisker on the ninth, lysine.

Sacha inchi values: Hamaker et al., 1992, Cereal Chemistry 69(4), whole-seed protein, rounded. Reference: FAO/WHO/UNU 2007 adult amino acid requirement pattern. Natural products vary from harvest to harvest.

How to use

Add two tablespoons to your smoothie, oatmeal or yogurt. Stir into pancake, muffin or bread batter to boost the protein. The flavor is mild and nutty with no aftertaste, so it works in sweet or savory recipes. As a flour substitute, swap it for up to a quarter of the flour in pancakes, muffins, cookies or bread: it is naturally gluten free and adds protein and omega-3 without changing the taste. Pairs well with our cacao powder and Triple Maca for a complete breakfast smoothie.

Frequently asked questions

How well is it absorbed? About 96% of sacha inchi protein is digestible, one of the highest figures of any plant protein, thanks to its light albumin proteins and the gentle roasting of the seed.

Is it nut free? Yes. Sacha inchi is a seed, not a tree nut, so it is a good option for people with nut allergies. Always check with your doctor if you have a seed allergy.
