Description

Meet Fonio, African Supergrain. West Africa's oldest grain. This tiny ancient grain holds a place of honor in cultures and cuisines across West Africa. Organic fonio grain has been grown by smallholder farmers for thousands of years. In Africa, it's served to guests of honor, placed as a good luck token in kid's backpacks. To the Dogon people of Mali, it is The Seed of the Universe, the grain at the root of all existence. Fonio grows across the Sahel region: the semi-arid band between the Sahara desert and lush forests to the south. The Sahel regions hot, dry climate and poor sandy soil do not support most crops. But fonio flourishes. Its extensive roots help it draw water from deep underground and secure the topsoil from erosion, making it a climate-smart grain. More than half of the worlds food energy comes from three mega-crops: rice, wheat, and corn. Fonio rice is a super healthy vegan protein thats a 100% gluten-free grain, the perfect low-carb rice alternative. Including whole grain fonio into your diet helps to increase our planet's biodiversity and resilience. Try our 3 best-selling Fonio Pilaf Mix blends with one order!
