 OBÀ FONIO IN GRAINS Fonio in grains Fonio is a cereal from the botanical family of Miglio, a very small grain with ancient origins, cultivated and consumed for 5,000 years in West Africa. Fonio is a precious food, perfect for a healthy and balanced diet. It is gluten-free, a source of protein and vegetable fibers, contains mineral salts and Vitamin B. Being gluten-free and the type of use in cooking, grains and flour, unites the so-called ancient cereals such as Fonio, Quinoa, Sorghum, Teff and Grano Saraceno. In terms of taste, however, the Fonio is much more delicate than the others. For example, compared to Quinoa, having no external coating of saponin, it has a sweeter taste and a consistency closer to Cous Cous and Mile. Furthermore, Fonio does not have the characteristic flavor of Teff and Buckwheat and is therefore much more versatile for any type of recipe. From a nutritional point of view, Fonio, like Quinoa, are both foods with very high beneficial properties: high content of mineral salts (iron, magnesium, zinc), fiber intake, low caloric value. Quinoa, as a pseudo-cereal, has a higher protein intake, while Fonio is rich in 8 essential amino acids, in particular methionine and cysteine. The first, useful for the digestive system and metabolism helping to expel heavy metals. Cysteine counteracts the aging process thanks to its anti free radical action. So, Quinoa and Fonio are two real super-foods! Furthermore, Fonio is an excellent alternative to Corn for all those who follow a gluten-free diet, but who are interested in a completely natural cereal with a low glycemic index. The low Nickel content completes the nutritional profile of the Fonio making it an optimal choice, compared to all other whole grains, for intolerant to heavy metals.
