About

Banza is a food innovation company on a mission to make beloved comfort foods more nutritious by swapping traditional ingredients for chickpeas. Founded in Detroit in 2014 by brothers Brian and Scott Rudolph, Banza introduced the first chickpea pasta and has since expanded to pizza, mac & cheese, and waffles — all delivering significantly more protein and fiber than conventional alternatives. Today Banza is the #1 better-for-you and #5 pasta brand in the United States, available in over 26,000 stores nationwide including Whole Foods, Target, Walmart, and Wegmans.
