Chocho is an ancient lupin that has been used for thousands of years by Indigenous Andean communities. It grows at an elevation of 11,000-14,000 feet, and it’s a highly functional protein source that’s packed with good stuff—fiber, vitamins, minerals, all nine essential amino acids, and as much calcium per serving as a glass of milk.

Pure Chocho has a mild, nutty taste that blends nicely without overpowering other flavors. Cacao and Vanilla have a touch of sweetness. All of our products are natural and free of artificial colors, flavors and sweeteners.

Only if you choose to use it that way. We think of our powders more as meal enhancements, adding protein to whatever you want to eat rather than replacing what you want to eat.

Mikuna Chocho Superfood Protein is a non-isolate whole food that contains more protein than soy, pea, and quinoa (combined!) from just 1-5 minimally processed ingredients depending on your flavor choice. Chocho is the sole source of protein used in our products, full of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and 9/9 essential amino acids, and it’s free from gluten, dairy, fillers, and lectin.

Definitely not. Chocho Superfood Protein is incredibly versatile. It can be used as a gluten-free flour replacement for baking, mixed into savory sauces, packed into homemade ice cream...you name it. And because of its wide range of uses, Chocho is not something you'll get tired of consuming.Check out our blog for more recipe ideas!

Chocho is a lupin, and unlike most other legume-based proteins, our proprietary debittering process ensures that our Chocho Superfood Protein is free from lectins. Lectins are proteins that are resistant to being broken down in the body, so they can cause digestive problems. All Mikuna products are 100% lectin-free.

You can shop on mikunafoods.com. You can also find us on Amazon, and if you happen to be in the Los Angeles area, Mikuna is available at all Erewhon Market locations with more locations coming soon.

Between Cacao, Vanilla, and Pure Chocho, the most popular flavor constantly changes, but at Mikuna we like to keep a healthy competition going. (The person writing this is Team Vanilla for life, but her editor thinks Cacao is #1.) For those looking to use Chocho Superfood Protein in their cooking, Pure Chocho is the most popular since it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes and adds the most neutral of all three flavors without any additional sweetness.

No. Chocho is a whole food and the only source of protein we use in our products. While many protein powders are blends, Chocho Superfood Protein is made solely from Chocho—no pea, no soy, no quinoa (AND more protein than all three combined!).
