FONIO 350g

I'm always hunting for gluten-free grains that don't taste like cardboard, and this one actually has a nice nutty flavor that holds up well in a pilaf. The 100% paper packaging is a huge plus for me since I'm trying to cut down on plastic in my kitchen.

Cooked up fluffy in about ten minutes and it soaked up the vegetable broth beautifully, just like a lighter couscous. The texture is a nice change from my usual rice, and knowing it's naturally gluten-free makes it a solid pantry staple.

The paper packaging is a nice touch and it cooked up faster than quinoa, which I didn't expect. The texture is light and fluffy, and it held up well as a base for a stew without getting mushy. Glad I finally tried fonio.
