Fonio Starter Pack Gift Set

Yolélé’s Fonio Starter Pack is the perfect introduction to West Africa’s incredible little gluten-free ancient grain. A perfect gift for your favorite global gourmet, or anyone who might be into exploring fonio's culinary potential and background.

An author-signed copy of Yolélé co-founder Pierre Thiam’s landmark cookbook provides dozens of beautifully photographed, exciting, and delicious recipes for fonio, from simple to complex, from traditionally inspired to modern American. The book also tells the story of fonio’s origins and its cultural history, and shares evocative photographs of the people who grow it, against all odds. It’s both inspiring and easy to follow, providing unparalleled immersion into this underutilized crop’s potential.

Add some fonio and our two best selling fonio pilafs, and now you’re cooking!
