EcoFriendly Packaging Superfoods by MRM Raw USDA Non-GMO Project Verified Certified Vegan Gluten Free Inca's Peruvian "Super" Seed Inspired by Nature Est. 1996 Supported by Science Certified by EcoCert ICO Untouched nature mesmerizes me how it lives in harmony within itself; plants, animals and microorganisms, all intertwined in a sometimes chaotic yet cyclical unity. This perspective shaped my childhood and evolved into a quest for knowledge of ethnobotany (study of the relationships between peoples and plants). I'm humbled that this exploration allowed me to build a line of natural health products. At MRM, we are inspired by nature and utilize science as a tool to learn, incorporate, support and educate what the natural world has to offer. Respectfully, these Superfoods are the foods our ancestors thrived on, not today's foods we survive on. Many Thanks, Mark Olson Founder of MRM What is Sacha Inchi?
