Superfood solution

MURCIA­ based Blendhub and Colombian startup BeAmaz are teaming up to tackle global malnutrition using the Sacha Inchi seed. The Sacha Inchi seed, native to the Amazon region, is packed with essential nutrients, including protein, fibre, vitamins A and E, and healthy fats such as Omega 3.

Notably, it is a highly efficient crop, yielding one tonne of protein per hectare, making it a promising solution to combat malnutrition on a global scale. Blendhub’s portable factories, easily transported and installed worldwide, allow localised production close to the raw materials, reducing costs and environmental impact. The collaboration aims to develop nutritious and affordable foods exclusively sourced from Latin America.

Besides combating malnutrition, they seek to restore the Amazon’s biodiversity and support local economies by engaging indigenous farmers. Both companies have been recognised for their positive social impact by the World Economic Forum.

Despite challenges in attracting private investments, Blendhub remains committed to its mission, self­financing its efforts for sustainable and nutritious food production.
