Mikuna
On a mission to change the future of food in a way that has a positive and lasting effect on the planet, Mikuna is the first company to introduce Chocho to the US market. An ancient lupin with more protein than any other plant-based source, Chocho is grown exclusively in the Andes, and it’s a truly super food with superior nutritional, health, application, and environmental benefits. Founded by a professional athlete and fifth-generation Ecuadorian farmer, Mikuna has built the operations and network of local Andean farmers to deliver the supply required to meet the demands of the high-growth plant-based protein category. Mikuna is proud to create plant-based products that are rooted in regenerative agriculture and strives to make a positive global impact.
