Fonio, a millet grain, has been a staple in West Africa for more than 5,000 years.  When included as an adjunct at 10-20% of the grist, it requires no milling or special handling. Tap into fonio’s irresistible notes of mango, lychee, gooseberry, and sauvignon blanc to enhance any style’s profile, from Pale Ale to Pilsner and all the way to Barleywine. Used by Russian River Brewing in their Belgian Blonde, and by Brooklyn Brewery in their White Beer, and Pale Ale.

In the brewhouse, using pre-gelatinized unmalted fonio is simple and straightforward - no need to crush, just mix it into the mash.

Also very usable as a food item, type Fonio into Google for lots of recipe ideas! And shop around, our price is the best anywhere,
