Dim Fonio Flour-1KG

Fonio is a good source of B vitamins, including thiamine, riboflavin, and niacin, which are necessary for the growth, development, and function of cells, as well as energy production.

Gluten-free

Fonio is naturally gluten-free. Thus, it’s safe for people with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease.

Gluten-sensitive individuals may experience abdominal discomfort and tiredness when they eat foods that contain gluten — a group of proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye.

Among those with celiac disease, gluten presents the same symptoms as gluten sensitivity but also damages the small intestine

May aid blood sugar management

Fonio contains resistant starch, which resists digestion and absorption in your small intestine.

Resistant starches have many health benefits and may play a role in increasing insulin sensitivity and lowering blood sugar levels.

Furthermore, this grain has a low glycemic index (GI) score, meaning that it doesn’t quickly raise your blood sugar levels. For this reason, it may help people with diabetes manage their blood sugar.

Here are a few recipe ideas:

• Substitute fonio for any grain, including rice, couscous, millet, sorghum, quinoa, and barley.
• Use it in porridge in the same manner in which you’d use oats.
• Add it to soups and stews.
• Sprinkle it in salads.
• Use fonio flour in baked products like bread, cookies, cakes, and bars.
