Sacha Inchi Origin

Sacha Inchi, also known as “Inca Peanut” is an Euphorbiaceae endemic to the tropical mountain forests of the Peruvian Amazon. This perennial liana has become perfectly acclimatized in Laos where it is now cultivated because of its high concentration of unsaturated fatty acids (especially in omega 3 and 6).
