Why is Sacha Inchi Seed Oil a Promising Raw Material?

What is Sacha Inchi Oil?

Sacha Inchi Seed Oil is extracted from the seeds of Sacha Inchi and used in cooking or skin care products. Small in size but high in nutritional value, Sacha Inchi is mostly acclaimed as a natural remedy for its multiple health benefits to the human body. While the fruit itself is not often eaten, the seeds are roasted and consumed. In addition, they can be pulverized into a fine powder and added to foods. Also, the leaves of the plant can be dried and brewed to make herbal tea.

Are Sacha Inchi Seeds Nutritious?

Sacha inchi seeds are loaded with protein, fiber, and heart-healthy fats. They also contain some vital micronutrients and antioxidants. A 0.4 oz (10 g) serving of Sacha Inchi seeds contains 70 calories, 3g protein, 5g fat, 1g carbohydrate, and 1g fiber. Sacha Inchi seeds are especially high in unsaturated fats, which may reduce the risk of heart disease when replaced with saturated fats or carbohydrates in the diet. In addition, they contain other essential micronutrients such as potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, and zinc. More importantly, they contain antioxidants and phenolic compounds that can reduce inflammation in the body and prevent chronic disease.

What are the Benefits of Sacha Inchi Oil for the Human Body?

Sacha Inchi consists of 93.6% protein and vital amino acids, which are not generated by the human body and must be consumed for good health. This superfood contains high doses of omega 2, 6, and 9, which help control and/or prevent heart problems, improve brain functions, and promote the formation of new cells, reducing the risk of tumor diseases (mainly colon, prostate, and breast cancer) and lower cholesterol levels in the human body.

In addition, it is a rich antioxidant that prevents skin cells from damage resulting from free radicals present in UV rays. Also, it boosts the immune system of consumers and prevents them from contracting any viral diseases.

Sacha Inchi also contains vitamin E, which dilates blood vessels and prevents any arterial problems. Plus, this nutrient is great for restoring and maintaining optimal appearance from root to tip of the hair. It also keeps the skin healthy and hydrated (so it's great for those with skin conditions such as sensitive or dry skin).

Vitamin A, responsible for improving vision, and vitamin D, which stimulates (and strengthens) bone formation (therefore, preventing diseases like osteoporosis and rickets) and the nervous system, are also present in the Sacha Inchi.

In addition to these benefits, we cannot forget about fiber, a nutrient that keeps the body full (hence its widespread use in weight loss diets) and regulates the proper functioning of the digestive system.
