Who We Are

Founded by August Kokus in West Palm Beach, Florida, The MayaNut Company creates MayaNut™ Powder to help build demand for Brosimum alicastrum: a useful, underutilized food species with the potential to be planted, protected, and carried forward.

The product is the starting point: demand for a practical food powder can create economic value, and that value can support broader awareness, cultivation, and long-term expansion of the species behind it.
