Fonio has been grown in West Africa for over 5,000 years. Prized for its delicious nutty flavour, it is packed with natural goodness and easy to use.
Fonio is the stuff of legend: the Dogon people of Mali believe the entire universe was born out of a single fonio grain.
Aduna Fonio creates sustainable incomes for over 320 women farmers in Southern Mali as well as helping to restore degraded soils.
Deliciously light and nutty with a fluffy couscous-like texture, fonio is versatile and easy to use. Try it as an alternative to rice, quinoa or couscous in stir-fries, stews, soups, vegan burgers, stuffed peppers, casseroles, salads, tabbouleh or as a side dish. It also makes a delicious, creamy porridge.
