Choputa means "discover" in the Igbo language that is spoken in the southeast region of Nigeria, Choputa founder Uche Jumbo's country of origin.

Growing up eating whole foods that were nutrient-rich and delicious, Uche has always cared deeply about healthy, high-quality food. With a Bachelor of Arts in microbiology and Master's in biotechnology, she's spent more than a decade leading and managing quality and food safety programs in food manufacturing.

At the same time, she also hopes to ignite a sense of discovery in those seeking healthy alternatives to traditional grain-based foods. This includes educating people not only on the numerous health benefits of fonio, but also the rich stories of the people harvesting the supergrains inherited thousands of years ago from their ancestors.
