MEDELLIN, ANTIOQUIA, COLOMBIA, September 14, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- GMSacha Inchi $QEDN has been working with Nestle since 2020 to develop products for Nestle. Sacha Inchi is a seed rich in Omega 3,6,9 and a complete vegan protein with all 9 essential amino acids that grows in the Amazon rain forest of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Brazil.
Nestle has tried to work in the past with Sacha Inchi but found several problems:
1- Sacha Inchi seeds have a very bitter taste.
2- Sacha Inchi seeds are not easy to process into powder or other raw materials.
3- Sacha Inchi seeds are very susceptible to Staphylococcus.
4- There are not enough farmers growing Sacha Inchi worldwide to have an industrial production with GAP (Good Agriculture Practice)
5- Nestle did not have access to a company that could work with Sacha Inchi and had all the necessary certifications to transform Sacha Inchi into a raw material.
$QEDN dba GMSacha Inchi has solved all the problems that Nestle and other companies encountered with Sacha Inchi.

About Sacha Inchi on the UNODC website:
An invisible 'superfood'
Although it may seem like a new product, for centuries, indigenous communities in the Amazon have cultivated and consumed this 'super seed'. “They did not extract the oil, but they made some stews or dressings for the cassava, plantain and the normal food they consumed,” says Olver.
Its cultivation in the Colombian countryside is relatively new; Its first harvests in Putumayo arose in the 90s thanks to Father Alcides Jiménez Chicangana, a priest who dedicated his life to progress in lower Putumayo, as Olver explains. “He started giving the farmers 10 seeds at a time. “People planted extensions: they planted what they were harvesting and began to look for trade.”
At the beginning of the 2000s, Peru (a country that has about 95% of sacha inchi production in the world, according to the UN Office on Drugs and Crime - UNODC -) suffered a slight drop in its commercialization after the departure of Alberto Fujimori from power. The Colombian farmers saw their opportunity here: "They began to look for varieties of sacha inchi in the Amazon and in the area of Putumayo, Caquetá, Amazonas, varieties were found, and they began to be cultivated in a small way," says the president of Agroincolsa.”
