Discover West Africa's centuries old superfood & whole grain known as Fonio; which has a low glycemic index reading, gluten free and packed with essential nutrients.

Fonio is quick to cook and best when steamed for a fluffier texture. Fonio can be enjoyed either in a sweet or savoury recipe. 

NUTRITIONAL CONTENT 

Fonio contains a good mix of micronutrients like;

• Iron – supports red blood cell production and prevents anemia.
• Magnesium – supports muscle and nerve function.
• Zinc – important for immunity and healing.
• B vitamins – including B1 (thiamine) and B3 (niacin), which help with energy production.

Fonio is naturally gluten free, making it a safe and nutritious grain for people with celiac or gluten intolerance.

Fonio is considered to have a low glycemic index, meaning it causes a slower, steadier rise in blood sugar. This makes it suitable for:

• Diabetics
• Weight management

In comparison to Quinoa, Fonio offers higher levels of magnesium, calcium, and potassium. 

Fonio is renowned for its hypoallergenic properties and it’s easily digested in comparison to other grains.
