THE FOUNDER AND THE STORY
Uche Jumbo
A Better Breakfast Starts with Fonio
Choputa was built on a simple conviction: breakfast should nourish, not just fill.
Founder Uche Jumbo spent years working in the food industry, overseeing quality and compliance while witnessing how many cereals were designed for convenience and shelf life rather than nutrition. She believed there was a better way to start the day.
That journey led her to fonio, an ancient West African grain cultivated for more than 5,000 years. Naturally rich in essential amino acids, easy to digest, and grown through climate-resilient farming practices, fonio has long been valued for its nutritional benefits and sustainability.
Choputa transforms this powerful supergrain into a modern, single-serve hot cereal that is quick to prepare without sacrificing quality. Made with clean ingredients and free from refined sugars, artificial additives, and gums, each cup delivers a warm, satisfying breakfast rooted in both wellness and tradition.
More than just a breakfast product, Choputa introduces consumers to an ingredient with deep cultural significance while offering a simple way to eat with greater intention every day.
