Aduna Fonio Organic Super-Grain 450g

Aduna Fonio is an ancient West African grain that has been cultivated for over 5,000 years. This 450g pack contains certified organic, gluten-free fonio that cooks in just 3 minutes, making it a practical alternative to rice, quinoa, or couscous.

Nutritional Profile

Fonio is naturally gluten-free and provides essential amino acids, making it a complete plant-based protein source. This grain contains iron, zinc, magnesium, and B vitamins (B1 and B3). It is high in fibre and has a low glycemic index (GI), which supports steady energy release without blood sugar spikes. The grain is suitable for coeliacs, vegans, and those following gluten-free diets.

Cooking and Uses

Fonio has a light, fluffy texture similar to couscous with a subtle nutty flavour. It cooks in 3 minutes on the stovetop or microwave. Use it in breakfast porridge, grain bowls, salads, stir-fries, stews, or as a side dish. The grain works well in both sweet and savoury recipes and absorbs flavours effectively.

Stovetop method: Combine 50g fonio with 100ml water in a pan. Bring to boil, simmer for 1.5 minutes, remove from heat and let stand for 1.5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

Microwave method: Add 50g fonio to 100ml water in a bowl. Cover and microwave for 2 minutes. Fluff with a fork and let stand for 2 minutes.

Sustainable Sourcing

This organic fonio is sourced from small-scale women farmers in West Africa, specifically Southern Mali. The grain is grown sustainably in the Sahel region, requiring minimal water and thriving in poor soil conditions. By choosing Aduna Fonio, you support ethical farming practices and provide income to over 320 women farmers. The grain is certified organic by the Soil Association and contains no pesticides, additives, or preservatives.
