About
Kuli Kuli is a women-led brand pioneering sustainable superfoods like moringa in the US. Moringa is a naturally energizing green superfood packed with protein, antioxidants and vitamins. Kuli Kuli offers the highest quality, most nutritious moringa by partnering with local entrepreneurs and sourcing directly from small farmers, prioritizing African and women-led social enterprises. Kuli Kuli’s superfood powders and snacks are sold in 11,000 stores nationwide and online at kulikulifoods.com.
Founding Story
As a vegetarian, Kuli Kuli’s founder Lisa Curtis was feeling sluggish from a diet of mostly rice while serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Niger. Women in the local community advised her to eat moringa leaves, showing her how to mix them into a local snack called kuli-kuli. After eating the nutritious kuli-kuli moringa snack, Lisa’s energy returned. The leaves of the moringa tree are packed with protein, vitamins, and antioxidants, providing a powerful boost of nutrition and caffeine-free energy. Lisa recognized the potential for moringa as a powerful tool for nutritional health. While moringa was recognized locally for its medicinal benefits, farmers saw no reason to grow it without market demand. Lisa was inspired to find a market-based solution to realize moringa’s potential as a powerful tool for nutritional health and expand US market access to African women farmers. She returned home to the U.S. and built Kuli Kuli, a social enterprise that brings the nutritious moringa leaves to American consumers while partnering to create jobs and promote local consumption in the communities where moringa is grown. Nourishing you, Nourishing the world™.
Team Bios
Lisa began working on Kuli Kuli while in the Peace Corps in Niger, West Africa. As a volunteer in her village’s health center, she gained an understanding of nutritional challenges faced in West African villages and how moringa can help address those challenges. Prior to Kuli Kuli, Lisa served as the Communications Director at Mosaic, wrote political briefings for President Obama in the White House and worked at an impact investment firm in India. Lisa has been recognized as a Forbes 30 Under 30 leader, a Udall Scholar and a “dedicated humanitarian” by the Muhammad Ali Center. Lisa’s favorite way to eat moringa is by mixing Kuli Kuli’s Pure Organic Moringa Powder in her morning oatmeal with almond butter, chia seeds, hemp seeds, and fruit.

Testimonials
Moringa is the only food or dietary supplement that has been shown in well-designed studies to increase milk production. I recommend Kuli Kuli moringa to my clients for their quality standards, ethical business practices, reasonable prices, and for making moringa easy and delicious to consume.
I’ve been buying this Kuli Kuli moringa powder… Dr. Jed Fahey has researched it, like that specific brand, and so it’s legit. It’s science backed, in terms of containing moringa and activating Nrf2. And I add it to my smoothies. So that’s what I’ve been doing. I do a big, heaping tablespoon.
As a natural products scientist, and a mom myself, research has validated many of the traditional uses of moringa by nursing mothers. While more studies are warranted on specific health outcomes, moringa certainly has great nutritional value and promising health benefits for supporting women, moms, and children.
After experiencing fatigue in my third trimester of pregnancy, I turned to moringa. Moringa lattes completely cured my third trimester fatigue. I continue to enjoy moringa as part of my successful breastfeeding routine. It also helps me function after sleepless nights!
