Barnana likes things simple, sustainable, and delicious.

Origin:

Barnana's founder, Caue Suplicy, had his first taste of banana snacks when his father brought home an old sky slight to create a solar dehydrator.  The naturally delicious banana bites he made were an instant hit.  This beloved childhood snack later turned out to be the perfect food for Caue's triathlon career.  At the races, he shared the bites with other athletes and a business idea was born.  Other Brazilian snacks were becoming part of the American mainstream, why Caue's favorite childhood treats.

Wasted Potential:

When Caue visited small organic farms in Latin America to source bananas for his fledgling business idea, he noticed two piles of seemingly identical bananas.  He was shocked to learn that one pile was destined for the trash because it wouldn't survive the long journey to market.  That's when Barnana's passionate commitment to upcycling began.

The Future looks A-Peel-ing:

As our business and team expands, we are deepening our commitment to people and the planet everyday.  Our goal is to become the leader in everything sustainable (and delicious) made from bananas.
