## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fast cooking and highly nutritious
*by P***Y on September 24, 2024*

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.

### ⭐ Horrible taste
*by S***Y on April 29, 2025*

Horrible taste. We threw it out.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Unpleasant Texture!
*by L***Y on November 27, 2023*

This Imphex, African Fonio Grain was very easy to prepare and it turned out as stated on the package but the texture of this is almost powdery and really unpleasant to swallow. I think it could be placed in soups or stews and be alright but as it is, we didn't care for it. I added a little butter and some seasoning to it and the flavor was mild and good (although the smell of the uncooked grain is really strange) but the texture is very hard not to choke on. It's hard to describe other than it being powdery. I love trying new things and while I may add this to soup so it's not wasted, I wouldn't eat it the way it is after being prepared because of the texture. The Value is Okay!
