Please see the FAQs below for information about Inka Crops snacks!

Inka Crops Crunchy Giant Corn is made from the heirloom corn known as the Giant White Corn of Cusco. This unique variety grows exclusively in “The Sacred Valley of the Incas”, located near Cusco at 11,000 feet, high in the Andes Mountains of Peru.

The Cusco Corn has a Protected Designation of Origin certification, a world-wide exclusive, and has historically been a staple of the Inca civilization and their descendants for more than 500 years.

Only the largest, finest kernels are used in our Inka Corn; enjoy as a topper for green salads, or as a light crunchy snack right from the bag.

In 2021, Inka Crops changed the oil that they had been using for many years to High Oleic Sunflower Oil. They felt that this was a more healthy oil to use in their snacks:

“[For some time] we have made our products with RSPO Palm Oil (sustainably sourced from Columbia), but due to the growing nutritional trend of reducing the consumption of saturated fats, we decided to migrate to High Oleic Sunflower Oil as of January 2021. High Oleic Sunflower Oil has less saturated fats, around 10%, versus 50% of saturated fats from Palm Oil.”
