Plukenetia volubilis
S tier
Plukenetia volubilis is the botanical name of sacha inchi, the precise species behind Inca peanut products. Use it when labels must not blur with other oilseeds. A good botanically true seed is correctly identified and handled for polyunsaturated oils. A bad product is mislabelled mix. Roast for flavour; protect oil from heat and light. Nutrition claims should match lab reality, not only marketing.
