Frequently Asked Questions

Products

Are Sacha Inchi seeds sustainable?

Yes! Sacha Inchi seeds grow best in healthy, thriving ecosystems with ample rainfall. You can read all about where we source our seeds and how amazing our international farming partners are on our website.

How do you store the products?

All of our products are shelf stable for maximum convenience! We actually recommend NOT storing any of our products in the refrigerator as it may cause the oil from the Sacha Inchi seed to harden. Our team loves to store the butter upside down (make sure to tighten the lid!) to help keep the butter mixed.

Oil Separation Solution:
We do not use emulsifiers so the Sacha Inchi oil does naturally separate. We suggest that consumers fully stir the butter each time it's used OR you can spin the jar on a flat surface a few times to mix it up!

Ingredients/Nutrition Content

Do any of your products contain common allergens?

All Brass Roots products are free from the top 9 Allergens! The top 9 allergens are: wheat, milk, sesame, tree nuts, soy, fish, shellfish and peanuts.

If you are concerned about other ingredients, check out the product page's nutrition facts or speak with your doctor if you have any concerns about your specific dietary needs.

How many carbs are in your products? What’s the difference between net carbs and total carbs?

You can find the nutrition label for each product on its individual product page.

Total carbs include all of the types of carbs in a food like dietary fiber, sugars, and starches. Net carbs only include carbs that the body digests into glucose (Total Carbs - Fiber = Net Carbs).

What ARE Sacha Inchi Seeds?

Sacha Inchi seeds are special little super-seeds that taste, feel, and act similar to nuts, but without the allergy! They are nutrient-dense (high in protein, fiber, & healthy fats) making them the perfect ingredient to include in all of our snacks.

What is a complete protein?

A complete protein contains all of the essential amino acids that our body needs to function properly. Sacha Inchi seeds provide all 9 of those amino acids!
