Nutrition Facts Fonio
Fonio is a dried food with much of its original water removed, which concentrates its flavor and nutrients. It provides protein, dietary fiber, magnesium, and iron. Choose a dry, intact package without insects or moisture damage and store it airtight in a cool, dark place; refrigeration extends the quality of whole-grain and high-fat products.

Interesting fact
Milling changes more than particle size
Whole-grain flour retains bran, germ, and endosperm, while refined flour removes much of the bran and germ. Finer particles also expose more surface area to enzymes and oxygen, affecting digestion and storage stability.
