What is MayaNut™?

MayaNut™ is a delicious powder made from roasted seeds of the Alicastrum tree (Brosimum alicastrum). Valued for centuries in Mesoamerica, MayaNut™ is naturally caffeine-free and nutrient-dense, adding a bold cocoa-like flavor to smoothies, açaí bowls, baking, everyday cooking, and more.

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—built for consistent, everyday use.
