Thai Sacha Inchi
B tier
Thai sacha inchi refers to cultivation and products grown in Thailand after the crop spread beyond Peru. Same species family of uses, different terroir and industry story. Roasted seeds and oils appear in Thai health-food channels. A good Thai product is fresh and well roasted. A bad one is oxidised. Use like other sacha inchi snacks. Origin matters for agriculture, less for inventing a new flavour category.
