##Verarbeitung##
Sacha inchi is a plant that produces fruit year round. The star shaped, first green and brown when ripe fruits are manually harvested, dried in the sun for up to 3 days until the residual moisture is 10% or less.
After drying, the Sacha Inchi nuts, which have a very hard shell similar to that of round almonds, are separated from the fruit flesh. The shell is mechanically opened and the Sacha Inchi nuts are sorted by hand. Only the best quality nuts are processed further.
Then the most important part of the processing begins, which determines the quality of the Sacha Inchi oil and Sacha Inchi protein: cold-pressing of the nuts.
The oil is collected separately and used as a valuable raw material in cosmetics and as cooking oil. The protein substances, which remains after pressing, contains loads of valuable nutrients. It is gently dried and transformed into Sacha Inchi protein powder.
