Your daily dose of plant power. All organic. Nothing added. Nothing taken out except water.
About us
kencko is a smart food company, reinventing organic fruit and vegetable products to help people eat healthier, and waste less. Our no-fuss instant smoothies make it easy to add 2.5 servings of fruits and veggies to your daily routine. The only ingredients we use are whole organic plant foods, flash-frozen and slow-dried to retain their fiber and nutrients. Nothing added, nothing taken out except water. Almost half of the world’s fresh fruits and vegetables are thrown away uneaten. Our process cuts waste by capturing the nutrients of fresh produce in a shelf-stable form, until you’re ready to enjoy them. We also lighten our footprint by using compostable packaging and offsetting all emissions from shipping. kencko’s smoothies come in a rainbow of flavors to suit your unique nutritional needs. Plus, all members can access free coaching from a registered dietitian to provide the support they need to grow their healthy habits with kencko. kencko is currently available in the US, Europe, UK, and Singapore.

We're thrilled to share that we've been named one of RangeMe's Top Brands in Food & Beverage. Being a part of this list of 50 innovative companies means we're in demand with buyers, and part of the conversation around the future of snacking trends – great news for our mission of helping more people eat more delicious fruits and veggies! https://lnkd.in/evhgvEwu
RangeMe's Top Brands in Food & Beverage listing is now live in Mass Market Retailers' Research section! It highlights the 50 brands garnering the most interest on RangeMe from buyers actively seeking new products and is a leading indicator of the types of products we can expect to see on store shelves in the coming months and years. Categories include: Candy; Snacks; Frozen Food; Breakfast & Cereal, Foodservice; Beverages; Bread & Bakery; Condiments & Spices; Canned & Boxed Foods;, Grains & Pasta; Baking; Coffee, Tea & Cocoa and more! You can view the list online in the MMR Research section here: https://lnkd.in/e8G2NsXA Many of these brands you'll also find at ECRM's Food & Beverage Sessions: https://lnkd.in/ekxETyRK Each month, in its Research section online and in select print issues, retailmediaIQ's MMR features the RangeMe Top brands in one of the following categories which rotate each month: Health & Beauty Care, Food & Beverage and General Merchandise. Brand selection is determined by the number of approved submissions from RangeMe’s Immediate Opportunity campaigns. These are campaigns hosted by retailers via RangeMe to meet a specific need – typically category-focused or around a theme such as sustainability, private label or supplier diversity. RangeMe hosted 486 campaigns in 2024, drawing more than 54,800 submissions and 10,601 approvals from buyers (meaning they were invited to the next step in the decision-making process, such as sample requests or a meeting). All RangeMe Starter, Premium and Pro subscribers can submit products to Immediate Opportunities. Also factored into the selections are positive buyer actions on RangeMe Brand Profile pages – such as sample requests, messaging activity, meeting requests, and product saves. View RangeMe's Current Immediate Opportunities here: https://lnkd.in/erGqdF9m Special thanks to Mike K. and April Park on RangeMe's Product Team for putting this together, and Scot Meyer, Thorvardur Palsson de Shong and the MMR and retailmediaIQ team for helping us to share this data! #food #beverage #cpg #retail #ecrmrangme Proper Good Greg F.

We had a blast at Sweets & Snacks Expo this past week - if we saw you there, thank you for stopping by our booth! We got to hand out a few thousand samples of our brand NEW fruit snacks, which are shaking up the sweet snacking world. Our team had an incredible time meeting everyone from across the CPG industry in Indianapolis! Made with 100% fruit, our new fruit snaps are crunchy, crispy, conveniently bite-sized sticks made from 100% real organic flash-frozen, slow-dried fruit. There’s no baking, no frying, and as always, no added sugar! We're shaking up the snacking game by making real, nutritious, and delightfully delicious options more accessible than ever. Fruit snaps are now available nationwide at Walmart. #SweetsandSnacks
