Aduna Organic Fonio is a fast-cooking ancient West African whole grain with a light, fluffy texture, subtle nutty taste, and a natural supply of iron, zinc, B vitamins and fiber.

Harvested for thousands of years in West Africa, fonio is a tiny whole grain that cooks in minutes and adapts easily to sweet or savory recipes. This 1kg pack of Aduna Organic Fonio gives you a versatile, naturally gluten-free staple that can replace rice, couscous or quinoa in many dishes while adding a boost of key micronutrients and dietary fiber.

How quickly does Aduna Fonio cook and how do I prepare it?

• Baking: incorporate into breads, crackers or muffins for texture.
