Fonio is a gluten-free, nutrient-dense, low GI ancient grain that can be cooked in just 3 minutes. It is a delicious alternative to rice, quinoa, couscous or polenta. Try fonio in stir-fries, stews, soups, vegan burgers, stuffed peppers, casseroles, salads, tabbouleh, buddah bowls or as a side dish. It can be used to replace any grain in any dish and also makes a delicious, creamy porridge.

Fonio provides life-changing income to women farmers in the African Sahel and restores degraded soils. Fonio has been grown in West Africa for 5,000 years and is thought to be one of Africa's oldest cereals. It is mostly cultivated in West Africa in the arid Sahel region.

The smallest in the millet family, fonio grains are just 1mm big, similar to a grain of sand. Fonio is also known as 'Digitaria Exilis', 'acha' or 'hungry rice' (although this is often misunderstood in English, it is not because people are hungry that it has this name, it is because it is so delicious, it makes you hungry!) Due to its small size, it is relatively difficult to process which is why it has been unavailable outside of Africa, until now!

Reviews

Phoned the store for some much needed advice - as we were isolating - the Irish lady one the phone couldn't be more helpful and helped with all our questions, we put in a delivery order which arrived the next day with everything we asked for and a helpful card with what she recommended too. We also used their web shop which came well packaged and arrived in a couple of days, will definitely recommend and use again.

Great communication - there was not enough of the product that I wanted and Eve sourced more and advised me when it was ready so I could place the order. Excellent service as usual.

Review from Trust Pilot

Wild Oats provide excellent choice of products and excellent service. It was the only place in Bristol that stocked the supplement I wanted. I ordered online and it was ready to collect almost straight away. The member of staff in the shop who served me was lovely too!

A very easy and efficient service from start to finish - thank you Wild Oats!
