The Ancient Grain Revolution: Fonio!

Fonio is an ancient grain native to West Africa, considered, aside from corn, one of the world's oldest cultivated crops! This tiny, gluten-free grain packs a nutritional punch, rich in protein, fiber, and essential minerals like iron and zinc. With its light color and round shape, Fonio is a versatile ingredient that has been a staple in West African cuisine for centuries.

Additionally, Fonio supports sustainable ag. in West Africa, as it is drought-resistant and adaptable to poor soil conditions – a valuable crop for regions with challenging farming environments.

Fonio's versatility in the kitchen is pretty impressive. It can be used in a variety of dishes, from savory pilafs and salads to sweet porridges, breads and breakfast bowls. It can also be ground into a flour substitute for baking. Traditional West African recipes like "fonio couscous" has a unique texture and flavor profile. With its mild nutty taste, pairs well with a range of ingredients, from vegetables and herbs to spices and meats.

Its quite literally a super food:)
