GFA Evaluation
Roasted sacha inchi seeds ("Incan peanut"), sourced from Thailand, Laos, and South America. 8g protein per 1oz serving — 50% more than almonds. 2g fiber. Free of the top 9 allergens, including peanuts and tree nuts; school-safe.
Whole, organically grown roasted seeds. Simple ingredient lists across flavors (salted, sweet crunch, sweet heat, Cajun, spicy) with no artificial flavors or fillers declared.
Founder Aaron Gailmor pays fair-trade wages directly to named sacha inchi farmer partners in Thailand and Laos, including a documented relationship with farmer Chan, who reinvests profits into a K-12 school. Brass Roots (New Orleans) also runs youth nutrition and entrepreneurship education programs locally.
"Fair-trade wages" here is a founder-disclosed, named farmer relationship rather than a third-party Fair Trade USA or Fairtrade International certification — a direct claim, not an independently audited one. Sacha inchi (Plukenetia volubilis) is botanically a seed, not a peanut or tree nut, which is consistent with the allergen-free claim.
