What is MayaNut™?
MayaNut™ is a roasted seed powder made from the seeds of the Alicastrum tree (Brosimum alicastrum), a tropical species long valued as a traditional food in Mesoamerica. Naturally caffeine-free and nutrient-dense, it adds warm roasted depth with gentle cocoa-like notes to smoothies, açaí bowls, baking, and everyday cooking.
We’re finalizing packaging and inventory now and will share launch updates soon.
How It All Started…
In 1923, Herbert “Buba” Humphreys, standing alongside his father Harry Humphreys, founded Kennesaw Fruit Company—working with oranges, pineapples, watermelons, and other crops. In 2025, Buba’s great-grandson, August Kokus, founded The MayaNut Company to bring Alicastrum (Brosimum alicastrum) into modern kitchens through MayaNut™ roasted seed powder, and to support long-term cultivation standards for the future.
