We were lucky to be introduced to Thomas in 2022 after he shared this Sprouts Farmers Market haul that featured Brass Roots. Following his trip to Sprouts (one of our FAVORITE stores 🤩 ), we connected and immediately clicked on all things nutrition and Sacha Inchi.

Check out some of his answers to our questions below:

Brass Roots: How important is fiber in our diet?  

Thomas: I consider fiber to be the 2nd most important attribute to our diets outside of protein. 

DYK: Sacha Inchi packs more fiber than peanuts and almonds. By crunching on one serving of Brass Roots Roasted Sacha Inchi, you get 5g of fiber. You’d be hard pressed to find a nut or seed with a better nutrient profile than Sacha Inchi. 

Brass Roots: What are the benefits of Omega-3s? How much do we need on average?

Thomas: Omega-3’s are very critical. I aim to consume at least 500mg daily. 

DYK: Sacha Inchi is loaded with omega-3’s! In just one serving of Brass Roots Roasted Sacha Inchi, you get 4800mg of omega-3’s. Skip the fish oil supplement and go straight for REAL food from plants. Not to mention, Sacha Inchi is delightfully fun to crunch on AND tasty.

Brass Roots: Is there a time of day that is best to snack?

Thomas: Morning is the best time to snack!

DYK: Our bodies do best when we eat more in the morning than at night. By moving your snacks earlier in the day, you can prevent late night snacking.
