Not Whey. Not Pea. Chocho.
MIKUNA Chocho Plant Protein is a single-ingredient, Andean lupin protein powder cultivated by Indigenous Kichwa farming communities at 11,000 feet in the Ecuadorian Andes. Each serving delivers 20g of complete protein, providing all nine essential amino acids alongside 8g of dietary fiber—naturally free from dairy, soy, gluten, gums, sweeteners, or flavors. Lab-verified by Eurofins, each lot is tested for lead, cadmium, pesticides, and PFAS, with published results confirming non-detect or below laboratory limits of quantification. The supply chain is traceable from farm to finished powder, reflecting over 2,500 years of stewarded cultivation.
