Starting from an idea in 2019, Breadfruit chips have been shipped to over 45 states in the United States less than two years later developing the first trade route and commercial operation for the fruit between Colorado and Jamaica.What you will learn from this episode: That the breadfruit plant is described as a tropical potato that grows on a tree instead of in the ground, it is in the mulberry family (that was surprising to learn) and it is a gluten-free, grain-free, and low glycemic superfood that is a good alternative to certain other starches and grain-based products The Jus Chill company endeavors to equally center People, Planet, and Profits in its operations and seek to provide financial value back to producers at the base of the value chain and ensure that its operations are not harmful to the planet while ensuring that the company becomes profitable and sustainable. Jus Chill is currently bootstrapping without venture or impact investment backing until it can find the right investors that are fully aligned with its 3 P (People, Planet and Profit) focus. Jus Chill currently has two major product lines breadfruit chips and breadfruit pancake mix and is currently developing other product lines To order Jus Chill products visit 123juschill.com to order or on Amazon as the company strives to get into distribution into major retail stores across the US.Social Media: Instagram: iifoods_juschill Facebook: iifoodsThanks for joining us for another episode of the WTF podcast.
