Banza

Founded in 2014 by brothers Brian and Scott Rudolph, Banza's mission is to make nutritious foods more accessible by reinventing comfort food favorites with chickpeas. The company started with its signature chickpea-based pasta, which offers more protein and fiber with fewer net carbs than traditional wheat pasta. Banza has since expanded its product line to include chickpea rice, mac & cheese, and pizza, establishing itself as a popular brand in the better-for-you food category available in major grocery stores across the United States.
