'undehulled acha (FONIO) has the ability to control blood sugar level and can be recommended to individuals suffering with diabetes.' Here's the link to SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH from 2017... the scientific community has
KNOWN ABOUT FONIO FROM AFRICA FOR DECADES BEFORE THIS
but as with most natural herbs in Africa, it's not used for health interventions used in the west: https://bit.ly/3osiwlQ
On the Dr Sebi list our AFRICAN FONIO is Alkaline and not Acidic so it's easy on the stomach and TASTES GREAT! It's Gluten free & Pesticide free AND Organic so there's NO REASON to be AFRAID to give it to your pre-diabetic as well as HEALTHY CHILREN & family members! It's GREAT Healthy for Vegans and people with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), older folks and people with sensitive stomach issues. It's non-GMO Fairer trade and sold via SenegalStyle AfricanHerbal as a Cereal for Individuals, FAMILIES & Wholesale Distributors!
Here's a link to a recent podcast (May 22nd) about Fonio and the HEALTH BENEFITS IN DETAIL:
How it's HAND PROCESSED HERE IN SENEGAL done by BBC:
We don't have SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES -
YOU ORDER, I SEND IT FARM FRESH DIRECTLY FROM AFRICA!!
The seed has a high protein content and RICH in methionine, cystine and other amino acids vital to human health and is PERFECT for pre-diabetics and/or diabetes.
Fonio is also rich in iron, calcium, magnesium, zinc and manganese, and has more of these nutrients, serving-per-serving, than other grains.
It’s also very high in fiber, which makes it a good carbohydrate as it releases its sugar slowly into the blood stream, making for consistent, high-quality energy over a longer period of time. Compare this with the quick sugar high and subsequent cravings you get from white bread or white rice, and Fonio is a much better choice all around!
ORDER FOR THE HOLIDAYS & BEYOND!
PLEASE PAY ATTENTION: I PERSONALLY ship this item FRESH from AFRICA!

Africans all over the continent cook with Fonio either alone vegan style with sauce or as a side dish with meat, fish and chicken. I mix it with rice to get the nutrients within this tiny grain and make our food healthier.
Here's a very good video/TED talk with the background, scientific and historical information about AUTHENTIC AFRICAN FONIO! Please Watch!
AMERICANS like me are incorporating Fonio into our heavy southern dishes, like
Pic 6: CHICKEN & FONIO GRITS!
The scientific name for Fonio is Digitaria Exilis and it ONLY GROWS in Sub Sahara Africa. If you buy it from somewhere else, it's genetically modified so pay attention to countries of origin.
Other names are: White or Black Fonio, Fonio Millet, Hungry Rice or Acha Rice. COOKS IN FIVE MINUTES if you like the 'grainy' taste and can substitute for rice or quinoa, or 15/20 minutes if you like it smoother, like mashed potatoes.
PERSONALLY I cook it longer with milk powder & butter to smooth it out and make the texture more like American style breakfast cereal. I also make Chicken & Fonio and it's PERFECT for Vegan/Vegetarian dishes as well!
Msg me for recipes and photos - I LOVE THIS STUFF and am happy to share my western style recipes.
Fonio is an African grain so of course it's traditionally cooked 'African' style but it's sooooo versatile you will find you can make it the way YOU like it. Don't be locked into preparing it a certain way - you bought it; make it how YOU want to make it. I make it as a breakfast cereal and add CHOCOLATE SPREAD... it's DELICIOUS like this, my grandson LOVES IT! When I give it to my African friends they are like 'what? This is Fonio???!' lol!
Also EASY TO DIGEST for diabetics, gluten free or children who dislike hot meals. No starch and ECONOMICAL - you get 3x the amount when cooked so you don't have to use a lot of product. (40g feeds two kids!)
♥Highest iron content among ALL grains♥
♥Fastest cooking grain in the world♥
♥Starch Free & Gluten Free♥
♥Rich Source of Protein♥
♥Healthier than Quinoa♥
It's a THE OLDEST CEREAL KNOWN TO MAN KIND, it's still cultivated but it's kind of rare because it is only in season once a year. I encourage you to do your research and look at TED talks about it by Chef Thiam shown above with yours truly (pic 3). He's known as the 'Fonio King' and lives in the US.
I purchased 2 at his book signing event here in Senegal.
He has several restaurants in the US and has been promoting Fonio worldwide for over a decade. If you follow the alkaline diets popular right now you'll find that Fonio is on the list of cereals/grains that are permitted!
A sample package is $5.50 (10gr) one family size bag is $25.50 for 1lb including shipping and 17lbs is $150.50; all prices including shipping!
INSTRUCTIONS as a SIDE DISH/RICE SUBSTITUTE:
1. Add 40gr for 1 or 2 or 80gr for 3 to 5 people of AfricanHerbal Fonio
1 cup of water or 2 cups of water for 80gr
1/4th or 1/8th tsp of authentic AFRICAN KOSHER Pink Lake Sea Salt
1 or 2tsp of sugar or sweetener for breakfast or spices for a side dish
1 or 2 tsp of butter
Jumbo seasoning cubes and fresh chopped vegetables and stir (use a nonstick pot), cover and continue cook on low heat for 10 to 15 minutes and just watch the texture and continue to stir until it's where you want to be.
Butter gives it a smoother taste so it's not grainy making it 'my' way. Turn off when it's done and let stand until ready to use
I also add leftover chicken meat inside and whatever else. I like mine seasoned not plain so it's a nice side dish without having to make a gravy/sauce to eat with it.
It will triple in volume so a little bit goes a long way for people on a limited budget! Add gravy or sauce and use as a nutrition packed and healthy main meal (vegans & diabetics) or side dish replacing potatoes, rice and other fattening staples to serve with fish, chicken or beef.
