Aduna Organic Fonio Supergrain | Ancient African Gluten Free Grain | 1kg

I absolutely love this grain! Some remarked the aroma smelling old. I noticed that it sorta does but aroma goes away once cooked. I love adding it (add approximately 1/4 c) along with my steel cut oatmeal while cooking. Then I add blueberries, freshly ground flax seed, and cinnamon! It holds me over until past lunchtime! It has a very fine dry consistency so I preferred adding it to oatmeal rather than just alone. (It reminds me of texture of Mat-o-meal.)

Easy to cook and very delicious with legumes and vegetables.

Very easy to cook. Good for me, as I haven’t experienced any bloating for the past month since eating it. I will definitely recommend it.

This is the hands-down BEST breakfast cereal alternative - protein, Gluten Free, no need for milk even: 1/4 c Fonio grain (they're teeny tiny, but absorb a LOT of liquid) 1 c apple cider (or you can use water here too and maybe maple syrup for sweetener - with cider you need nothing else - 100% cider is TOO sweet for us 1c water I like to toast the grain first in dry pan, then combine with the cider/water and the following: Chopped candied ginger (2T?) ~ same amount both dried currants (nice and smaller than raisins) and unsweetened dried cranberries ( sold here in ~ 3 oz pkgs but that 's a lot - they are chopped so I don't need to) and not sticky like regular "dried" cranberries with sugar. I get that to boiling on Hi and turn to low to simmer till desired consistency. But watch it - the little buggars will stick otherwise. We add chopped nuts just before serving and you can use milk or half-and-half if you make it a bit thicker. Enjoy!

I’ve never tried Fonio before but kept coming across it randomly on social media as a great alternative to couscous and quinoa, which I use. But this one is more healthier, it’s much lighter than I thought as the picture shows the grains a little more bigger than they are. The grains are very small, which is still great. Fonia has an earthy/ground taste, it really doesn’t bloat, it looked like it cooks up small but once on the plate, it’s more than enough. I haven’t tried another brand, but seems to very good quality.
