LiveKuna

LiveKuna is a vertically integrated superfood company working directly with small-scale farmers in Ecuador's Chimborazo and Cotopaxi provinces to create organic, gluten-free, vegan snacks and baking flours. The company sources chia, quinoa, cassava, banana, and plantain directly from a network of over 500 local farmers under fair trade practices, then packages and distributes products across Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama, the United States, and Canada. Its product lines include KunaPops (quinoa and chia puffs), tortilla chips with superfoods, cassava chips, organic baking flours, and cereals — all certified organic, non-GMO, dairy-free, and gluten-free. LiveKuna has been featured in Forbes and has expanded retail distribution into major supermarket chains. 'Kuna' means 'to give' in Quechua, reflecting the company's philosophy of sharing nutrition and supporting indigenous farming communities.
