Frequently Asked Questions
Products
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.
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!
Unlike your average grain-based puff snack, our crunch puffs are completely gluten/grain free. The ingredients we use combine to create a denser, crunchier version of your typical puff snack - so that's why we call 'em crunch puffs!
