- Fonio is a traditional West African grain that some believe could be the "new quinoa"; it could even replace wheat because of its drought-resistant and gluten-free qualities. Fonio can grow in poor soil, and no pesticides are needed for its cultivation. In Senegal, where it's part of local customs and traditions, fonio is used in breakfast, lunch, and dinner dishes.

Funny how everything Dr. Sebi was telling us in the 80s and shunned is today widely accepted. RIP to the Imenhotep of my lifetime Dr. Sebi.
Better late than never
That's how it is with everything. Whether it be knowledge, and invention or a popular fad. The creator was laughed or seen as bizzare. Now all of that knowledge died with him it's ashame that he didn't write a book.
People love to demonize and then turn around and take the person they demonized's ideas smh..
u hoteps r annoying don't spread ur propaganda to us africans
HAIL THE TEACHER, DR. SEBI. YOU LIVE THROUGH EACH AND EVERYONE OF US.
str8 up!
This grain is amazing.
Thanks to Dr. Sebi, I love this thing!
OMG I came here because of him too!
mochi_ 4 where do you guys buy your fonio from V
This evening I actually had some fonio - for the fist time! And I felt very good and replenished afterward. Highly recommend :)
How can I get the Fonio seeds in Uganda, I want to grow them here
super et super nana!
I was so moved by the sacredness held in the teachings by the elders in this video. Much medicine was given. Filled up with tears at the end. Beautiful. Love my people and all my lineages and all my relations. Thank you🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
reminds me of cream of wheat. its really good.
I hope fonio don't go mainstream for these people's sake

Je croyais la même chose. C'est une dame très instruite.
Amazing and so proud of my culture
excellent I switched all grains for fonio and best of all no gluten
I ate it today for the first time and I really like it. It’s very smooth.
Im waiting for mine. I hope i like it.
Enuph Sayd where did you buy that ? Please . Thank you 🙏
oh wow! she is speaking Wolof, likely Gambian or Senegalese.
We love it! We sell nutritious Fonio in the United States.
Where may I buy fonio at I'm in New Jersey?
Yep, I know you do. I made a video using your Fonio 👌🏿 I just referred Subscriber to your Amazon store.
Read about this grain in the book Conversations with ogotemmeli and the pale fox
I'm on Dr.Sebi's protocol so this is an average thing :D look him up if you have not, could save your life... not exaggerating
What do you mean an average thing? I'm very curious
@@heliTg , I just started dr. Sebi's book. Everything is alkaline. It reverses many diseases. He has the foods outlined.
Fonio a new organicly grown grain!
A new AND ancient organically grown grain....
Wish I could buy it from them

*DR SEBI*
I'm not seeing that this "hungry rice" grain is available/for sale anywhere online.
@Fifina nour Thanks for the information.
I was distracted by the beautiful clothes & dancing. :) I will share this info with my sister and we will try fonio. I'm looking forward to trying this ancient grain. This would make a wonderful gift to share.
Sure, hope there’s no hemorrhagic virus mixed in!!!
is this grain only in africa?
not in the US?
Ca c'est excellent! Je veux manger du fonio!
Par contre faites très attention au manioc. Ne le mangez pas, il est très malsain. Il n'est pas du tout naturel, et il n'est pas Africain. Il est utilisé largement par les Africains, mais ça c'est différent. Le manioc a été introduit lors de l'esclavage par les portuguais, pour nourrir les esclaves car le manioc pousse très vite. Il est à l'origine de la plupart des maladies qu'on trouve en Afrique. Les Africains sont le peuple le plus puissant et le plus sain sur terre, et avant l'esclavage l'Africain n'a jamais manger de manioc.
fonio = natural couscous
The hipsters will be all over this now
Dr sebi FTW
You do realize that this video mentioned absolutely nothing about the nutritional benefits of folio, and just praised fonio.
You see if you focus on the positive you see positive if a food is gluten free ..I think that alone is more than enough nutrition trust me because the havoc gluten does to the body in unbelievable so me right there is a nutritional value it’s a natural grain that has not gone through hybridisation that’s why people have gluten intolerances ..furthermore it’s rich is iron and high in fibre it gives you energy it’s amazing what this thing does
Well, Bill Gates just discovered Fonio, so I'm here to observe what will become of it now.
this seems to be a commercial, i did not heat any nutritional content of it
shonuffLA fyi- "Fonio is one of the most nutritious of all grains. It is rich in methionine and cystine, amino acids vital to human health and deficient in today's major cereals: wheat, rice, maize, sorghum, barley, and rye." www.splendidtable.org/recipes/sesame-fonio
It is modest in protein (admittedly slightly higher in a couple of amino acids) and generally quite low in fibre and contains various vitamins and minerals you will find in other grains. Perfectly good food but forget the super food advertising.
its just normal rice but be careful don't eat too much it could make you sick
@Fifina nour it does
Shit i thought people were starving in africa but theyre eating pretty good
You do realize Africa is HUUUGE right?
A few place does not equal all, there are still people starving, not only in Africa but around the world.
illi ollooff: from where you mean America where 1/6 are starving Europe where 1/7 are starving or china and India which I need not explain.
Women power🙂
Fonio is Fulani grain. It's our tradition.
Blood for the Blood god! Skulls for the skull throne!!!
"The most nutritious grain you have never heard of" is carefully worded to disguise the fact it's nutritional values aren't that spectacular and all the 'super food' stuff is really just marketing . That isn't to say there isn't good reasons for Africa to embrace it's older native foods (esp. with water concerns etc) and I personally like it quite a lot but I find such claims a bit silly
based and grainpilled
