Our story

Meet Our Founder

Green Sun Foods started with a bold vision and a fresh start. When Maju, our founder, moved to a new country, she brought more than just luggage, she brought resilience, passion, and a dream to create something real. After struggling to find snacks for her family that felt both indulgent and genuinely clean, she decided to make her own: real chocolate, made with purpose, not guilt.

What began in her kitchen quickly became a movement. Green Sun was built from scratch to challenge what a chocolate snack could be, honest, nourishing, and deeply rooted in values. Today, it stands as a symbol of doing things differently: with integrity, flavour, and heart.

Origin

Heritage & Peruvian Cacao

Our chocolate begins where cacao has always belonged, in the heart of Peru. For generations, Peruvian farmers have cultivated some of the world’s most prized cacao, using traditional practices that honor the land and the culture. That legacy lives in every bite of Green Sun.

We proudly source our cacao from smallholder farms in Peru, where rich soil, climate, and history come together to produce chocolate with deep, complex flavor and unmatched quality. By staying close to our roots, we’re not just offering you 70% dark chocolate, we’re offering a taste of real heritage.

Sourcing & Ethical Standards

At Green Sun, we choose quality and ethics over shortcuts, every time. Our cacao is Fairtrade Certified, ensuring that farmers receive fair compensation and operate in safe, respectful conditions. Every ingredient is organic, 100% natural, plant-based and gluten-free, because we believe good food should be good for everyone, body, planet, and community.

We partner directly with producer cooperatives to maintain transparency, traceability, and long-term impact. Our sourcing is about more than ingredients, it’s about relationships, responsibility, and doing business in a way that feels right.
