Fonio Dal Crackers

With Fonio
We present to you, in collaboration with our friends Maya Kaimal Foods: Fonio + Everyday Dal Crackers! These easy-to-make crackers are packed with plant-based protein, fiber, and good fats. The nuttiness of Yolélé fonio complements the savory and tartness of kidney bean + carrot + tamarind Everyday Dal. Use them as a dip for hummus, the “toast” for avocados, or simply eat them as is. Make a big batch and keep in airtight containers for a nutritious snack on the go (or the trappings of a not-sad-desk-lunch).

Fonio is a regeneratively grown, community-building, really small ancient grain that’s been celebrated in West Africa for over 5,000 years. A versatile, nutrient-dense, anything-but-boring alternative to rice, quinoa or couscous, fonio brings the spirit of West Africa to your kitchen in just five minutes. It’s a simple, everyday sidekick to grilled meats, fish, and veggies, soaking up sauces and juices beautifully.
