Fonio is an ancient grain native to West Africa, prized for its exceptional nutritional value and versatility in cooking. Naturally gluten-free, Fonio is rich in dietary fiber, iron, and essential amino acids, making it a highly nutritious option for healthy diets. It is light and quick-cooking, with a mild, nutty flavor, making it an ideal substitute for rice, couscous, or quinoa. Fonio’s resilience to poor soils and arid climates makes it a sustainable crop for regions with challenging growing conditions.
