Thinner than I expected. It takes way longer than the package instructions to cook.

Why You’ll Love It
Serve just like rice or couscous. It's great when tossed with chopped fruit, grape tomatoes, herbs, citrus, olive oil, and a little minced onion.
When you buy fonio, you're helping some of the world's most vulnerable people make a living from their scarce resources.

I was really excited to try Fonio after reading all the wonderful reviews, I even stocked up a little when it was available because it seems to fly off the shelves when it’s in stock. Unfortunately it isn’t something my husband and I enjoyed as the texture was like what I imagine sand would be like. We’ll be donating our unopened bags to our local food bank and hope another family can enjoy it.

Pantry staple!

When I became GF I was really sad to lose cous cous in my pantry rotation. This is a great substitute. It’s incredibly versatile and I’ve use it for both salads and warm dishes. Highly recommend.

It's a nice little side dish. A little goes a long way. Follow the cooking instructions precisely of it will be too watery.

Not what I was expecting

I thought it would be more like a cous cous but it is more like cream of wheat.
