Aduna Organic Fonio is an ancient grain, prized for its delicious, nutty flavour and light, fluffy texture. It can be used as a gluten-free alternative to couscous, quinoa or rice. Use it in salads, soups and stir-fries or as a delicious, creamy porridge.

Native to West Africa where it is known as ‘The Seed of the Universe’, fonio is a drought-resistant, regenerative crop, helping to reverse the effects of climate change and generate income for the women’s co-operatives that we source from.

Aduna Ltd, PO Box 70832, NW1W 8AS, UK.
