Today we take on "Big Protein" and travel through the Andes Mountains, where generations of Inca wisdom takes seed in chocho, a magical bean which regenerates both people and the planet.

Our guide is the magnetic Ricky Echanique. Ricky is a fifth-generation Ecuadorian farmer and entrepreneur. As a former professional athlete, Ricky faced health and digestion issues that set him on a quest to find better forms of plant-based protein.

In the years since, Ricky has built a powerful network of indigenous farmers and vertically integrated systems to share Chocho with the world through his company MIKUNA.
