Culinary suggestions...
Biona Organic Fonio is a versatile, gluten-free ancient grain used like couscous or quinoa, cooked by toasting briefly then simmering in water or broth (about 1 part fonio to 2-2.5 parts liquid) for 5-10 minutes until absorbed, then fluffing; it's great in salads, as a porridge, or as a base for bowls, and can even be ground into flour for baking.
