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.

ZEGO is proud to offer products that are allergy friendly with all our bars being made in Top 9 Allergen free facilities and our bags being made in Top 14 Allergen free facilities.
We know how important allergy info is to our community so we want to share a little more info about some common allergies!
Why highlight seafood? Because some manufacturing facilities use ingredients that may be derived from the sea. It's not common in fruit bars, but we wanted you to know that our bars are seafood-free.
Seafood allergies are among the most common world-wide!
And, about 2% of the U.S. population has shellfish allergy, and most of those allergies start when you are an adult. 🤔

Welcome to the Food Gossip series! Follow @zegofoods and ZEGO founder @colleen_kavanagh_z for more valuable insight into the food industry!
For decades we've been moving in the direction of convenience over nature and nurture — more chemicals used to grow our food and more processing and chemicals used in making food products.
The result is nutrition depleted soil, toxic water, and dead food, not to mention the rise in autoimmune diseases and cancers.
But we have the power to turn this around before we get to where we are headed. To do that, we all need to act to make change happen.
Today, let's all look at the 3 things we most commonly buy to eat and then email or DM those companies and ask them to test their products for chemical residue like pesticides and heavy metal.
You deserve to know if the food you are buying is clean. Ask for purity verification for the products you rely on the most. If you want to learn more about ZEGO food purity commitments check out the link in our bio!
Ever wonder if you're getting the right balance of plant protein?
We know many ZEGO customers use protein powder as an important source of nutrition. So we want to share all the info you need to make the best choice!
First things first: Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. There are 21 amino acids in all. Your body can make many of them on its own, but there are 9 that your body can not make which you must get from your food. These 9 are called “essential amino acids.”
The problem is plant proteins are low in one or more of these essential amino acids. That's why it's so important to combine protein sources in order to get the right balance.
To learn more, read our blog post linked in bio!

Have you ever heard of Sacha Inchi Seeds? They are a superfood grown in the Amazon, renown for their nutrition content.
Did you know that ZEGO protein powder is made from just this one superfood ingredient?
We use sacha inchi for our protein powder because it is a whole food protein. That means to make it, we only press out the oil, roast and grind the seeds.
To make other protein powders, many processors use harsh chemicals or industrial enzymes to strip the carbohydrates off the protein.
You can check out more details about the science behind protein powders at the link in our bio! And don't forget that your first bag of protein is only $15 this month with promo code PP15JUL at checkout!
