Peruvian Sacha Inchi
S tier
Peruvian sacha inchi is the main commercial identity of Plukenetia volubilis products: oils, roasted seeds, and proteins exported from Peru. National branding and development projects built the modern category. A good Peruvian product has recent dates and protective packaging. A bad one smells of old oil. Roast seeds before casual eating. Keep oils cold. This is Perus flagship Inca peanut export story.
