Sacha Inchi Oil

Description

is a yellow to greenish oil, that slightly smells like beans and grinded leaves. It has a high content of unsaturated fatty acids. The oil is obtained from the inca peanut, also known as inca inchi, inca nut or inca mountain nut. The plant is a herbaceous creeper with branches up to a length of three meters. It belongs to the family of Euphorbia cyathophora. It has its origin in the headwater of the amazon rainforest. Especially Peru, because it needs running water to grow. It grows there 1000-2000 meters above sea level. Growing regions are nowadays in Southeast Asia and Thailand. The fruit is a dehiscent fruit and is similar to star anise. In every cavity of the five-pointed fruit is a seed. Once nine months have passed, the first fruits of the plant grow. After the fruits get picked by hand they get sun-dried and can be eaten or processed to oil by pressing, roasting or grinding. A floury by-product remains.
