What is FONIO?

FONIO is an ancient superfood! It has been cultivated for centuries, and serves as a daily staple for millions. 

Fonio is a small millet and can be eaten as a couscous or a porridge. Additionally, this versatile grain can be ground into a flour and used to create gluten free bread.
