Nine out of ten Americans don't eat enough fruits and vegetables. Not because they don't want to, but because it's considered a hassle.

Kencko is the solution created by Tomás Froes, an entrepreneur who, after experiencing how a plant-based diet reversed his chronic gastritis, figured out a way to solve systemic nutritional and food waste challenges.

Kencko's solution is elegantly simple. By capturing fruits and vegetables at peak ripeness and removing only water, Kencko delivers 2.5 servings of produce in a single, $2.49 packet that requires no refrigeration, blending, or preparation. Kencko is well-positioned to cater to the 80% of Americans who are trying to make healthier food choices while also watching the household budget.

With a 61% repeat customer rate, Kencko has proven that nutritious food can be convenient and affordable. The company has transformed from a direct-to-consumer smoothie brand to a multi-category nutrition platform, raising over $25 million from investors like Techstars and Siddhi Capital, and NextView Ventures.
