How Does Our Superfood Plant Protein Compare to Others?
We wondered the same. So, we put together this chart. And, we didn’t cheat — we know we are superior to many brands on the market but we wanted to compare to the “better for you” brands. How do we measure up? Pretty darn well. You may already know that no one compares to ZEGO when it comes to purity and transparency. But what you may learn is that our products–including our sacha inchi seed protein–are nutritionally superior to most others on the market. Just check this chart below to see a few of the differences that set us apart.

Here’s All the Deets on our Amazing Organic Plant-Based Protein
- SUPERIOR PLANT-BASED NUTRITION
- Sacha inchi protein is a “whole food” product that is simply cold pressed, roasted, and ground seeds, which makes an ideal powder of about 65% protein by weight.
- Most rice, soy, pea, whey and other protein powders are highly processed “isolates” made by using industrial enzymes or chemicals to strip the carbs from protein creating a powder with 90%+ protein.
- You absorb 20%-40% more of our protein because the isolate proteins pass through your system too quickly for you to digest them completely.
- Sacha inchi protein also has a superior, more balanced amino acid profile to other plant proteins like rice, soy, pea or hemp protein.
- Here is the amino acid profile in 1 gram of sacha inchi protein powder.
- PURITY VERIFIED FOR PESTICIDES & HEAVY METALS
- We purity verify our organic plant-based protein for heavy metals, glyphosate, aflatoxins, and 400+ other agricultural pesticides. Organic certification does not cover heavy metals.
- The Clean Label Project did a study showing that the majority of organic plant protein powders were contaminated with high heavy metal levels.
- We give you 100% transparency — our purity test results are linked to each bag through its QR code and are on our website.
- EASY TO DIGEST
- You’ll find our organic plant-based protein easy on your tummy because it digests more slowly and has more of its natural nutrients attached to it.
- We test and have found no detectable amount of aflatoxins, a common fungus in seeds that can cause severe tummy upset all the way to death (yikes).
- VERIFIED FREE OF TOP ALLERGEN AND GLUTEN
- We process our protein powder in a top 14 allergen-free facility.
- We test it for gluten (<5PPM) and allergens (<2.5PPM) to be sure there are signs of cross contact.
- No corn is in our facility.
- SUPPORTS SMALL U.S. FARMERS & OUR PLANET
- We buy from small family farms in the Amazon that are “beyond organic” in their farming practices.
- There is an income support program for the families in case of crop loss.
- Sacha inchi seeds are a valuable crop grown in the shade of the Amazon Rainforest, helping to maintain the health of this vital part of our planet.
- BETTER FLAVOR & TEXTURE
- Our protein has a roasted flavor, making it particularly good in baking.
- Our new protein (launched Sept 2021) is a finer grind than our previous version. It has a medium-light texture to it.
This is the amino acid profile of ONE GRAM of sacha inchi protein powder. A tablespoon of sacha inchi protein has about 6 grams in it. Three tablespoons is roughly a “scoop” measure used by other brands.

Every ZEGO purchase supports U.S. farmers—here’s why that matters!
✅ Grown in the USA – Our oats aren’t imported, meaning fresher food + small local farm support.
✅ We partner with farmers who prioritize soil health, purity protocol gluten-free standards, and organic growing practices.
✅ Regenerative Farming – Healthier soil = more nutritious food + a healthier planet.
✅ Lower Carbon Footprint – Supporting U.S. farmers helps reduce emissions from long-distance food
Choosing U.S.-grown oats helps reduce transportation emissions, strengthen our food system, and create a better future for farmers.
🌾 But did you know it’s much more challenging for farmers to be both organic and gluten-free?
This Friday, ZEGO Founder Colleen Kavanagh is diving into this in a new episode of Food Gossip, straight from Montana’s farm country. Stay tuned!

Do you know how our product gets on a grocery store shelf near you? 🛒 We have to pitch ZEGO to retailers across the country, or – if someone knows about us or enough customers request us – stores can ask us to be a supplier! With so many brands out there trying to get a store’s attention, sometimes we attend trade shows where grocery store buyers get to meet us face to face and sample our products. It’s an important part of our sales and marketing team – because it’s how we get our product on your favorite store’s shelf!
We loved being able to meet our retailer partners face-to-face at the recent KeHE Distributors #KeHeSummer show! Imagine you own one store and it has a small footprint – you’ve got to be selective on what brands you choose to stock your shelves. And you’re choosing to bring our products in over the competition? Thank you!
Every retailer, every store, every purchase – it’s a chance to tell our founder story, our transparency story, and the future of our brand. Thank you to our retailer partners that are choosing ZEGO!
