Our Mission

Hailing from a family legacy of farming in West Africa, and with an educational background and industry expertise in food science, our chief flavor officer, Abena, leveraged the multi-faceted aspects of her background, to address the opportunity in America's groceries and pantries for bold West African flavors.

Our brand name POKS, comes from Abena's family's name OPOKU. This name represents legacy; generations of the Opoku family making a positive difference in the West African and global food landscape, in farming, and now consumer packaged food products.

We are passionate about bringing bold West African flavors built on the West African holy trinity of spices, to the America's groceries and pantries.
