NUTTY BUT NICE Genuto, the brainchild of vegan chef Barry Schenker and his physician wife, Diana Rebman, is a Berkeley-based start-up that makes nut-based probiotic vegan gelato. A world first, says Schenker, who scooped more than 300 servings at the recent Berkeley Coffee & Tea Festival.

There are six initial six flavors, which should be available at Whole Foods Markets soon. Berkeley Bowl next? Find information on the Genuto website.
