## Description

desertcart.com : Imphex Fonio | The Ancient African Super Grain | 500g (1.1 Pound) | For Sweet or Savory | Vegan | Gluten Free | Non GMO : Everything Else

Review: Fast cooking and highly nutritious - I saw a recipe calling for this grain, and was interested enough to purchase. The grains are very tiny and you prepare it like couscous - just pour boiling water over them, cover and let sit for five minutes. They swell up a lot so you get quite a bit of yield from a small amount. The taste is almost completely neutral, reminds me of Cream of Wheat. Can use as a breakfast porridge or in place of a starchy side or pasta. I really enjoyed it and will probably buy it again.
Review: PLEASE HELP - This was rancid. I am trying to find a way to return or get credit and cannot. I cooked it the night it arrived and it smelled so rancid and bad but I had not ever tried it before and so ate some anyway and was sick all night. Please credit!
