Sacha Inchi Protein supplementation for targeted health support.
Lower PDCAAS than whey (~0.80 vs 1.0) but respectable for plant protein. With adequate total intake, practical differences are small. Complete amino acid profile is a plus.
Similar quality. Sacha inchi is complete on its own (pea is low in methionine). Less common and usually more expensive. Both are good options.
Some. The oil extraction doesn't remove everything. You get residual omega-3s and fiber that were in the seed. Not as much as the whole seed or oil.

Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score. Measures protein quality considering digestibility and amino acid composition. 1.0 is maximum (whey, egg). 0.80 is good for plant protein.
Soy-free option if avoiding phytoestrogens or have soy concerns. Also allergen-free for many common allergies. Taste may be preferable to some.
Mild nutty, earthy flavor. Generally pleasant. Less beany than pea, less chalky than rice. Blends well in smoothies.
Most research uses 30.0g daily. Below 15.0g, you're probably wasting money. Above 50.0g, no extra benefit. The curve plateaus. Safe upper limit ~ 60.0g.
