Discover the Protein of the Inca

For over four thousand years, Andean farmers have cultivated a single legume that consistently hits 51% complete protein — higher than any other lupin species on earth and 25–40% denser than soy, pea, or hemp. Tarwi Corp's high-altitude varieties (grown exclusively above 3,400 m in Peru) delivers all nine essential amino acids in ideal ratios, with a PDCAAS of 0.98 after debittering — beating isolated soy, and without the allergens, phytoestrogens, or oligosaccharides that trigger bloating in up to 30% of soy consumers.

The same traditional water-extraction process that removes bitter alkaloids also slashes lectins by 95% and cuts raffinose/stachyose (the main gas-causing sugars) by more than half. The result: a powder that digests effortlessly, stays stable in smoothies for 72+ hours without souring, and feeds beneficial gut bacteria as a natural prebiotic — something soy, pea, and rice proteins simply cannot claim.

Tarwi isn't just protein — it's balanced functional nutrition protected by the mountains themselves. When elite Andean seeds are moved to lower altitudes or different soils, protein drops 8–12% within one generation; the 51% figure is literally locked to the high Andes terroir and centuries of farmer selection.
