FONEO - FONIO - FUNDAE
Description:
Foneo or fonio commonly known as “hungry rice”, is considered to be the oldest cereal in Africa. It is recognized as the world’s fastest growing grain, reaching full maturity in 6-8 weeks. Fonio's biochemical composition can be compared with other cereals like rice, maize, wheat, or millet, however fonio is much richer in sulphuric amino acids: methionine and cystine. What is important is that, like quinoa, fonio is gluten free. This fact likely makes it a good candidate for future success stories, because at the moment many people living in developed countries consider themselves to be “gluten free”. They either have real or imaginary problems with gluten digestion. In both cases it is good news for fonio's marketing potential, at least in the gluten free segment of cereal consumers. Both quinoa and fonio belong to the group of old cereals (or rather pseudo cereals as some claim) that were domesticated as early as 7000 years ago.
