YOLELE Fonio Grain, 10 OZ

When GF people get sick of the same ol" rice dishes, there's another grain you can try.....It's apparently high in protein too. You will need to be creative with spices, butter and salt so that it tastes better, because it is kind of bland on its own.

I Love Fonio. You can eat it anytime of day. I like having Fonio in the morning for breakfast. It’s so quick and easy to make. You can make it sweet or savory to your taste.

Like the other ancient grains, I add an equal amount of rice and cook 1 Cup of the mix with 2 cups of chicken broth—an excellent addition to any meal.

This was my first time experiencing Fonio. It's a bit pricey for the size but comes with easy instructions. Very easy to prepare - I had it with veggies and appreciated the fluffiness of the grain. I read that you can prepare this as a porridge or breakfast cereal... I am not convinced due to the flavor, but I do intend to experiment with different methods and recipes.

I like the taste of Fonio. It doesn't have a strong flavor at all. I added a dash of soy sauce. I do the the nutrition of this whole grain. Will be a staple in my diet.

Did not like the taste. Was a bit sour/dirty tasting even though I washed it thoroughly.

We are big on finding healthier choices and this is a great one. I add vegetable broth instead of water when I’m cooking it to add a little bit of flavor. Of course any vegetables or protein you add will also increase the taste. Another option is to use it instead of a rice or potato and top it with a great sauce. It is what you make of it. Guilt, free choice that we are enjoying at our house.

Super quick to prepare, and seems like it will be versatile. Taste is mild, sorta like grits, couscous, cream of wheat. Before cooking it really looks just like fine sand. It’s very low in calories.
