what is it? I hear you ask,
it is a grain that can survive
drought and needs no fertilisers, those
qualities make fonio a good crop for developing nations in West Africa and
elsewhere that are dealing with withered or drowned crops, also and
here is the good bit, ancient wheat's
such as spelt (also called farro), Khorasan, einkorn, and emmer also rate lower
on the glycemic index, which measures
how carbohydrates raise blood glucose, they also provide more protein, fibre,
vitamins, and minerals than commonly available grains do, so great news for those with diabetes, so look
out for fonio, coming to shelves in
your supermarkets soon!
