Plant Medicine
As long time believers in the value of plant medicine, we’re continually heartened by the growing awareness and mainstreaming of the practice. From the broad adoption of cannabis to advancements in marijuana legalization, and more recent research around psychedelics, it’s clear that opportunities for wellness, enlightenment and fun are becoming more valued and better understood. As a result, there are so many new brands offering treatments, products and paraphernalia—many of which are championing legal and social justice reform. We couldn’t possibly list all of them, so our Plant Medicine guide offers a round-up of our favorites chosen for their design, innovation and effectiveness. (And yes, we know that mushrooms aren’t technically plants but we love them and decided to include them anyway.)

If you’re not familiar with chocho, it’s a lupin (same legume family as peanuts, peas, lentils, and soybeans) that packs one of the highest protein levels. It’s exclusively grown by native farmers in the Ecuadorian Andes at an elevation of 11-14,000 feet. Ricky Echanique, a fifth generation farmer and athlete, was seeking new options in plant-based nutrition, and realized that chocha was a perfect source for nutrient-dense protein powder. Chocho packs nore protein than any other plant, is high in fiber, calcium, vitamin E, magnesium, zinc, copper, and has all nine essential amino acids and BCAAs including leucine, isoleucine, and valine; it’s low in carbs, too. In addition to its benefits once harvested, chocho is a regenerative plant that thrives on rain water, pulls nitrogen from the air deep into its roots, and leaves the soil healthy and fertile for new. crops. Mikuna offers its chocho powder in three varieties—natural (with only one ingredient), vanilla and cacao (with an additional four ingredients—vanilla or cacao, organic coconut blossom nectar, organic monk fruit extract and sea salt). Mikuna is also B Corp certified. Price is for a 1.8lb bag (21 servings).
