Where Can I Buy Some Fonio?

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!
