The Vegan Food Brand You Should Know

If you saw the recent article by Green Queen — “a Latinx Vegan Food Brand You’re Going to Be Obsessed With” — you may have noticed something special: Mikuna was featured among plant-forward brands redefining what vegan nutrition looks like. Green Queen

That recognition isn’t just a badge of honor. It speaks to how Mikuna is shaping a new standard for plant-based protein: rooted in tradition, built for modern nutrition, and grounded in sustainability.

Here’s a deeper look at why Mikuna stands out — and how this feature supports what we believe is the future of conscientious, nutrient-rich vegan protein.

🌎 What the Green Queen Feature Highlights — and Why It Resonates

The article spotlights several Latinx-founded vegan brands for their authenticity, flavor, and sustainable values. For Mikuna, it calls out:

• Ancient crop, modern potential. Chocho — the Andean lupin seed behind Mikuna — is a regenerative crop rich in nutrients, historically cultivated in Ecuador. It’s a powerful example of ancestral food wisdom meeting modern needs. Green Queen
• Clean, simple, whole-food approach. Unlike many vegan powders that rely on heavy processing, flavor masking, or fillers, Mikuna stays clean — simple ingredient list and whole-food integrity. Green Queen
• Taste + versatility. According to the feature, Mikuna’s powders blend smoothly, mix easily, and are adaptable for recipes beyond shakes — from baked goods to smoothies and more. Green Queen
• Culture, identity & representation matter. By being a brand rooted in Latinx heritage and Andean agriculture, Mikuna brings authenticity and cultural depth to the vegan-protein space — something many global brands lack. Green Queen

For anyone looking for more than “just another protein powder,” these qualities matter. They represent a merge of nutrition, ethics, culture, and sustainability.
