Mikuna introduced Chocho to the US with a mission to change the future of food. An ancient legume packed with protein and nutrients, Chocho has superior health and environmental benefits. Mikuna supports local Andean farmers, and is proud to create foods that are rooted in regeneration. Chocho (pronounced ‘cho-cho’) is an ancient lupin that’s been cultivated by indigenous farmers for thousands of years. It grows in the Andes mountains at an elevation of 11,000-14,000 feet. It’s drought-tolerant and survives on rainwater alone. Chocho is extremely nutrient-dense and packed with protein, omegas, fiber, iron, and calcium. The coolest part? Chocho creates a cycle of regeneration. It enriches the soil, nourishes the body, supports local Andean communities, and helps clean our air. Over time, chocho has the potential to help reverse climate change, and through this tiny bean we strive for our global impact to be a positive one. Let’s do food better. Together.
