Fonio by Juka's Organic Co. (Raw);

Juka's Organic is committed to bringing the best fonio to your kitchen tables. We have partnered with women in villages of West Africa to import their hand selected and ethically harvested fonio. Our fonio grains are de-husked, thoroughly hand washed and naturally dried to preserve the most authentic & premium quality fonio. Fonio is a preeminent African superfood that is harvested in the savannas of West Africa. This millet grain is little-known outside of Africa but, like quinoa, the grains are used in porridge and as couscous but is known to be much healthier choice. fonio is one of the most nutritious of all grains. It's so full of protein that it even has amino acids that other grains don't, making it a much more complete protein source. fonio is also known to be rich in iron, calcium, magnesium, zinc and manganese. It's also very high in fiber and has a low glycemic index. Traditionally in Africa, many people that suffer from diabetes eat fonio instead of rice as a healthier substitute. The decadent flavor and easy to digest & health benefits, fonio is slowly becoming well known as a go to grain choice for many chefs and foodies around the world.
