Cultivated By Caryn w.guest Jessica Davidoff, of Cob, corn-free popcorn alternative
Episode 38
Thursday, 7 May, 2026

On this week’s episode, host Caryn Antonini is joined by Jessica Davidoff, Founder and CEO of Cob, a corn-free popcorn alternative made from the ancient, nutrient-rich grain sorghum. Jessica’s journey began with a deeply personal challenge: when her son developed a severe corn allergy, she set out to create a better, safer snack—one that didn’t compromise on taste or nutrition. The result was Cob, a light, cravable puffed sorghum snack that’s naturally gluten-free and rich in prebiotic fiber, plant-based protein, and antioxidants. What started as a solution at home quickly gained traction at local farmers’ markets, where Cob built a loyal following. Along the way, it caught the attention of Novak Djokovic, who shares Jessica’s passion for clean, functional foods. Impressed by both the product and its mission, Djokovic joined the company as a co-founder and investor. Before launching Cob, Jessica built an impressive career as a turnaround CEO for several high-profile, celebrity-led brands. Today, she’s channeling that expertise into a new mission: elevating sorghum from an ancient grain to a modern pantry staple.For more information on our guest:Cob | Sorghum-Based Snack Food for Energy, Digestion & Performancecobfoods.com@cobfoodsCaryn Antoniniwww.cultivatedbycaryn.com@carynantonini@cultivatedbycarynshow###Get great recipes from Caryn at https://carynantonini.com/recipes/
