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.

really good and easy to prepare 👌

Taste like eating sand

They are without paddy and so small but looks fresh and hopefully my budgies will eat them. I am giving them in a separate dish as well as added to their soft food.Fonio is good to avoid canker in budgies.

I only tried American Millets until I purchased this one. The American millets can cause gas and constipation.This one doesn't do that. This is definitely a superior Millet! I enjoy this millet. It keeps me satisfied for several hours.

This is very similar to couscous as far as texture. It has very little flavor of its own. It tends to take on more of the flavors of anything you add it to. You can make it like a porridge, add it to salads, use as a side dish, add savory meats/cheeses, etc to it as well. There are so many options for using it in many different dishes. It’s full of nutrients and vitamins and very easy to make.

Pure food

I love other grains and was excited to try these. There was an expiration sticker on the bottom of the bag that I couldn't read entirely since it was kind of tucked in a seam, but sometime in 2026. However, the grains had an off smell to them that I would characterize as stale. It may just be the way they smell so I went ahead and followed the instructions to prepare them. The water didn't absorb well and they were still quite gritty. I will give them another try and instead of just adding hot water like with quinoa, I will actually boil them until the water absorbs. Hopefully that helps with the grittiness as well.
