Presentation

Fonio, an ancestral superfood

Binta defines herself as an ambassador of Fulani cuisine and a promoter of fonio, a cereal traditional planted and eaten in West Africa.

Over the last two years, thanks to its similarity to quinoa, fonio has drawn the attention of gastronomy circles worldwide. And it deserves the attention, because this cereal is gluten-free and extremely nutritious, it requires only a minimum amount of water to grow it, it has a short life cycle, and has proved more resilient to droughts and plagues.

The answer to a number of questions concerning food safety and sustainability may lie in this cereal which Fatmata Binta publicises and uses in all her menus.
