Product description Fonio flour is naturally gluten free and vegan made entirely from the fonio grain. Because this is a single-ingredient gluten free flour, it will bake much like other gluten free flours you might be familiar with such as almond flour, rice flour, coconut flour and lupin flour. Use fonio flour for frying, muffins, pancakes, cornbread, and cakes. Fonio is a tiny nutrient dense grain native to West Africa. Grown in an area of land stretching from coastal Senegal to the northern tip of Cameroon, fonio is a staple crop in the sub-Saharan savanna climate of Africa and has played an important role in the region’s cuisine for generations. Fonio has a deep root system which thrives in the poor, dry soil. With a unique sustainability, this fast-growing grain is drought and climate resistant. We selectively source production partners who share our vision. They work with women-run cooperatives, farmers, and NGO’s (organizations run by citizens independent of government involvement) on-site to source fonio and promote regenerative farming practices. They commit to donating 1% of their sales (not their profits) to funds that provide quality of life services like electricity, water, and public gathering places in the villages that grow our fonio.

From the brand We recall, in the not so distant past, a time when ‘Organic’ was what we grew in our gardens or bought at the local produce stand. There were no ‘non-GMO’ products because genetically modifying our food sources was science fiction and not yet science fact. That's why Shipetaukin is devoted to giving consumers a chance to go back to our roots and choose clean ingredients for our plates and our bodies.
