Great taste and texture! I make these just as if I were making grits. Much Healthier Option!

Quite possibly the fastest and easiest grain to cook up of them all---combine that with the potent protein and it being essentially either about as apt to pair with anything as the likes of sushi rice or oddly enough able to pinch hit for grits/polenta/etc better than makes any sense and you've got yourself a winner.I also appreciated this incarnation not needing any straining or sifting upon soaking unlike some prior tilts at Fonio have.In a better world, the likes of this would be ubiquitous on the shelves as it absolutely does the job and does it well---but given the world we still dwell in, at least now I know it can be had here at a good value going forward.

After many hours of research, I decided on this brand. To my disappointment when I opened the bag it smelt rancid and there was some small black specs in it.I washed it throughly and cooked it hoping that was a feature of the product pre washing. Nothing changed. It tasted rancid.This is ridiculous after paying so much money for it. SMHThe sad thing is that these things aren't returnable.

Excellent grain which can be used for sweet or savory dishes.

Good

this is my first experience with fonio - thought it might make a prediabetes friendly breakfast option (will try later as a couscous sub). my bag arrived in timely manner in good condition, within expiration date. however, open opening it does have a slightly rancid odor, and tastes slightly off as well when cooked. whether this bag is “bad” (very fragile due to its nutrient content?), or just the way it smells/tastes i do not know. it is not inedible, just not fully delicious. will see what the cgm says about how i tolerate it.

This is the hands-down BEST breakfast cereal alternative - protein, Gluten Free, no need for milk even:1/4 c Fonio grain (they're teeny tiny, but absorb a LOT of liquid)1 c apple cider (or you can use water here too and maybe maple syrup for sweetener - with cider you need nothing else - 100% cider is TOO sweet for us1c waterI like to toast the grain first in dry pan, then combine with the cider/water and the following:Chopped candied ginger (2T?)~ same amount both dried currants (nice and smaller than raisins) and unsweetened dried cranberries ( sold here in ~ 3 oz pkgs but that 's a lot - they are chopped so I don't need to) and not sticky like regular "dried" cranberries with sugar.I get that to boiling on Hi and turn to low to simmer till desired consistency. But watch it - the little buggars will stick otherwise. We add chopped nuts just before serving and you can use milk or half-and-half if you make it a bit thicker.Enjoy!

Very GOOD grain. Just got to get used to the texture. Healthy for you.
