Yolélé is a purpose-driven food company creating healthy and prosperous communities from farmers across Africa to consumers around the world. FONIO (phone-yo) is one of Africa's oldest grains and has been nourishing rural West Africa for over 5,000 years. Yolélé brings this ancient grain to the U.S. in an effort to transform the economy of its partner farms in West Africa and provide U.S. consumers with new, super healthy, gluten-free addition to their diet. Yolélé co-founder and leading African culinary ambassador, chef Pierre Thiam, brings fonio that's geared to American cooks. Yolélé's premium quality fonio is healthier than brown rice, cooks in 5 minutes, and is high in essential amino acids that are deficient in most cereal grains. In the kitchen, fonio can be served like rice, quinoa, or other grains: in salads, tabouli, pilaf, crispy veggie burgers, cookies, bread, or just to soak up the juices of whatever you've been cooking!
