Chef’s Kiss is a private, family owned Lupin business.  We are a retailer, supplier and manufacturer of Lupin based products and ingredients.  Our products are currently sold to end consumers, wholesalers, the food service industry, and other food manufacturers.  

Chef’s Kiss is on a mission to make Lupins a household staple in North America.  Our business was founded on the notion that Lupins are an unrivaled superfood that can positively impact both the planet and consumers.  The combination of its unrivaled nutritional profile, regenerative properties, and powerful health benefits make Lupins an ideal solution for the environmental and dietary related issues our world faces today.

We are pioneers in Lupin product development.  Our Co-Founder commercialized the world’s first ever Lupin pasta and Chef’s Kiss is home to the world’s first ever Lupin spaghetti.  We are also the first company to commercialize pasta made from Tarwi Lupins, which contain the highest protein content of any traditional plant in the world.  We have a deep knowledge of working with Lupins in a commercial setting as well as scaling production of various Lupin related food applications.

Chef’s Kiss works directly with Lupin farms to bring customers the highest quality, best tasting Lupin ingredients in the world.  We’ve developed exclusive supplier relationships with Lupin producers from across the globe and have made capital investments in outside entities along the Lupin value chain.  Our investments have allowed these entities to increase production and distribution of high quality Lupin ingredients.

Simply, Chef’s Kiss is your trusted partner for all things Lupin.
