Collection: Fonio: An African Ancient Grain

Fonio, an ancient grain known by many as ‘the grain of life’, is one of Africa’s best-kept secrets. Its history can be traced back to the 14th century. Traditionally a prestigious ingredient used in religious ceremonies and gourmet dishes across the Sahel, it’s now best known for its health benefits.

A single grain of fonio is almost twice as rich in beneficial amino acids as an egg, meaning that fonio is a sustainable nutritional supplement for diets not only in Africa but everywhere.
