Is Sacha Inchi The SUPERFOOD You've Been Missing? Peanut of the Incas

😲 5 “Nuts” You’ve NEVER Heard Of… But NEED to Try | Think you know your superfoods? Think again. Dr. Steven Gundry unveils 5 of the most unusual, rare, and underrated “nuts” (some aren’t even technically nuts!) that you’ve probably NEVER heard of—but should absolutely be eating.

These hidden gems—like Sacha Inchi, Tiger Nuts, and Baru Nuts—are nutritional powerhouses loaded with omega-3s, prebiotic fiber, antioxidants, plant-based protein, and more. And while they’re not household names (yet), they’ve been used for centuries in traditional diets around the world to support heart health, gut health, brain function, and even weight management.

If you're tired of almonds and cashews, and want to level up your snack game or boost your daily nutrition, you’ll love these lesser-known alternatives that check all the boxes for longevity, energy, and metabolic health.

👀 Don’t miss Dr. Gundry’s breakdown of each one—including how to eat them, what makes them special, and where to get them.

Hi Dr G! The best way to enjoy tiger nuts is peeled and sliced. You can add them to yogurt and salads. Thanks!

They are very popular in Spain, we eat them soaked in water or we make a drink called "horchata" that we drink very cold with ice in summer. This horchata is different from the Mexican version, is just like the vegan milks

Fun fact about tiger nuts, scientific name (Cyperus esculentis): they belong to the same genus as the papyrus plant (Cyperus papyrus), from which Ancient Egyptians made one of the earliest forms of paper.

When I saw "tiger nuts", I thought it was a part of the tiger, like rhinoceros horn, elephant tusks, etc.😂
