How to make Fonio

Fonio grain is very versatile, it is ideal for cereal, stir fry and works as a perfect swap for quinoa and couscous.  

Cooked fonio can also be added to your smoothies for more fiber, to keep you fuller for longer. Fonio absorbs a lot of water, so a little goes a long way. 

To serve as rice or add to stir fry: Toast 1/2 cup in a small saucepan with 1/2  teaspoon of oil, stirring over medium heat.  Add a pinch of salt, 1 cup of water and stir well until the grain absorbs all liquid. Remove from heat and let it cool. Fluff with a fork and add to your recipes as desired

For cereal:  – Bring 2 cups water or milk to a boil, add 1/4 cup fonio grain and stir for 5 minutes. Taste to ensure that the grain is done. Add more water if necessary. Sweeten as desired, you can also top with fruits and nuts. 

Fonio grain cereal is an ideal gluten free breakfast for both adults and children from the age of 6 months.

    I really enjoyed my Fonio grain purchase. It was so fresh and sand free. I also love that it is gluten free, so nutritious and it keeps me full for a long period, so I have now incorporated it in my healthy diet. I totally enjoyed it and will recommend to anyone looking for a nutritious, gluten free whole grain. Keep it up Aga’s 👍

    Grains good and clean, the fact that I did not have to wash it so many times really made cooking so easy. It was sand less. The delivery was also good no problems whatsoever.
