kencko is a smart food company, reinventing organic fruit and vegetable products to help people eat healthier, and waste less.
Our no-fuss instant smoothies make it easy to add 2.5 servings of fruits and veggies to your daily routine. The only ingredients we use are whole organic plant foods, flash-frozen and slow-dried to retain their fiber and nutrients. Nothing added, nothing taken out except water.
Almost half of the world’s fresh fruits and vegetables are thrown away uneaten. Our process cuts waste by capturing the nutrients of fresh produce in a shelf-stable form, until you’re ready to enjoy them. We also lighten our footprint by using compostable packaging and offsetting all emissions from shipping.
kencko’s smoothies come in a rainbow of flavors to suit your unique nutritional needs. Plus, all members can access free coaching from a registered dietitian to provide the support they need to grow their healthy habits with kencko.
kencko is currently available in the US, Europe, UK, and Singapore.

Celleste has successfully grown 100% real cocoa ingredients from a single cell.
This breakthrough enabled the creation of the worlds first milk chocolate made with real cell-cultured chocolate-grade cocoa butter, developed in collaboration with our strategic partner, Mondelēz International.
By uncoupling the bean from the tree, our pioneering researchers have created the biological infrastructure to brew real cocoa in a controlled environment.
The result we aim for is chocolate-grade cocoa butter and cocoa powder designed for commercial applications. Our cocoa will serve as a seamless, high-performance drop-in ingredient for both mass and premium chocolate manufacturing, integrating into existing production processes.
Our mission is to strengthen and supplement the global cocoa ecosystem by creating a consistent, high-quality, and resilient supply of real cocoa ingredients for the future of chocolate.
