HerbaZest Sacha Inchi Seeds, 1 lb – USDA Organic, Vegan & Protein-Rich

Some people call them seeds, some people call them nuts. Well all nuts are seeds. They are very crunchy, they don’t have a flavour really. However, they are full of protein, and my body really likes them for an energy boost. It was the ancient Inca race that cultivated these. I love them and the recipes the company provided look great too. But I eat these as they are.

The order arrived a day early, the sacha inchi, golden berries, and amaranth crispies all were vacuum packed, very fresh and delicious! Sorry I didn't get the bigger sizes, but will next time. The golden errires were tender, not hard at all. I am a repeat customer and will remain one. I found out that the sacha inchi seeds are served as bar snacks in restaurants in S. America. I had a minor issue and the Herbazest customer service reached out and solved it promptly.

These go great with many foods and can correct the high Omega6/Omega3 ratio that creeps into (mostly) vegan diets. Great if you are watching your blood sugar. All the carbohydrate in them is fiber! The protein is complete! Some people say there is a fishy aftertaste to Sacha Inchi seeds. I do not notice that at all, while I do experience it with other Omega3 rich vegan foods such as flax and (sometimes) canola oil and walnuts. If you spend a good deal of time eating saturated fat and sugar, you will not like "Peru peanuts".

These taste more like legumes than they do seeds or nuts. They are not creamy, fatty or smooth but are more dry, incredibly, incredibly dry. I didn’t attempt to soak them as no one in our household enjoyed them that much. Instead, I gave them to a friend who said she craved them after trying them & wished to purchase some in an effort to fulfill whatever nutrients her body needed & was craving from these.

they taste fine and make me feel good ... got a lot of protein i guess... are nice and crunchy
