Organic Sacha Inchi Seed Oil (Extra Virgin, Cold-Pressed)

Nature’s Superfoods’ Organic Cold-Pressed Sacha Inchi Seed Oil is made from the seeds of the Sacha Inchi plant that is organically grown, consumed for centuries and sustainably harvested in the Peruvian Amazon rainforest. It has one of the highest contents of Omega 3 (45-53%) and Omega 6 (34-39%) fats amongst all plant-based foods, with an ideal balance of Omega 3, Omega 6 and Omega 9 fatty acids. Very few plant-based foods come close to the Omega 3 levels supplied by Sacha Inchi Oil and hence, it is a great source of Omega 3 fatty acids for vegans and vegetarians.

Nutrition

In addition to Omega 3 and Omega 6 fats, Sacha Inchi Oil also contains Omega 9 fats and a high concentration of Vitamin E, specifically gamma and delta tocopherols. Due to the high content of tocopherols, the oil does not require additives or preservatives to maintain its freshness and stability through time, i.e. the oil has a long shelf life without going rancid. As it is mechanically extracted through a cold-pressing process at low temperatures without the use of chemicals or solvents, the essential omega fatty acids, vitamins and other nutrients are well preserved in the oil.

This nutrient-dense oil provides excellent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-aging benefits. Regular consumption of Sachi Inchi oil, along with a balanced diet and exercise, may reduce risks of chronic inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, hypertension, unhealthy cholesterol levels, obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, as well as improve cardiovascular, joint and skin health.

With its light, nutty flavor, Sacha Inchi oil is versatile and can be enjoyed directly, in salads, or in cooked dishes. And, our extra virgin Sacha Inchi Oil has a high smoke point of 491ºF/255ºC that is higher than most unrefined vegetable oils in the market allowing it to withstand cooking or baking over medium-high heat. This means that you can use our Sacha Inchi oil as cooking/baking oil for most of your medium-heat recipes such as oven roasting or baking of muffins!

Why Consume Sacha Inchi Seed Oil

A healthy ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3 appears to be 1:1 or 2:1. Most of our modern diets are deficient in Omega 3 fatty acids and have way too much Omega 6 fatty acids which are found in most vegetable oils used in our foods. This imbalance (with excessive Omega 6 and too little Omega 3) tends to promote inflammation and has been shown to increase the risks of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, autoimmune diseases, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, psoriasis, eczema etc. As our daily diets are usually low in Omega 3 fats, the high content of Omega-3s in Sacha Inchi Oil helps to supplement this essential nutrient needed by our bodies.
