Fonio Super Grain Bowl by me!
This is a gluten free whole grain that is sustain-ably cultivated in West African countries. And it could not be easier to cook…seriously.
It is high in methionine, cysteine and leucine amino acids, which are deficient in today’s major grains. It also boosts a higher amount of iron than most grains with 8.5mg per 100g. These qualities make fonio the perfect addition to your vegan diet!
