So every once in awhile Dr. Oz introduces something to the world and our store gets visitors we would never have pictured to come to the store. The best part is they remind us of things we forgot about! Some of it we don't really jump on the band wagon with but in this case it reminded us the glory of Sacha Inca!
The ancient Incas of Peru were well acquainted with the nutritional force behind sacha inca. Cultivated over 3,000 years ago! Exceptionally plentiful in beneficial fats (14 grams per ounce), unsaturated fatty acids (linoleum, linolenic), protein (nine grams per ounce) and vitamins A and E, sacha inca was an important staple of the Incan diet. Inca peanut, otherwise known as sacha inca, is a powerful superfood chock-full of omega-3s, protein and fiber. As an inflammation fighter, sacha inca is extraordinary. The brain, bones and joints all benefit from the remarkable nutrition of this little known edible. These Amazonian nuts are also a formidable protector against cancer, heart disease and free-radicals.
We carry the Sacha Inca Protein Powder, which has over 60% complete protein, ranking 98 out of 100 on the Protein Efficiency Ratio and containing all the essential amino acids needed to build muscle. It is also known for its high concentration of Omega-3 fatty acids which can help improve joint health and muscle recovery. In addition, the high levels of calcium help support healthy eyes, skin, teeth and bones.Try adding 1-2 tablespoons to your smoothie,desserts, cereals or just pop it in water and hop to the gym!
