One I've been waiting for: sumptuous collab between Garrett Oliver of Brooklyn Brewery, & @thornbridge.bsky.social. Fermented using Burton Union Garrett helped rescue from Marston's. Pale, crystal & chocolate malts with Fonio ancient African grain adding cream & fruit notes. Superb, rich and fruity.

Tried Fonio, the ancient West African grain 🌍 and I loved it!! It reminds me of Cream of Wheat but it has a sort of couscous texture. The grains are so tiny!! I just ate it plain but you could add this to so many dishes and soups!! Will buy again 👍🏼 #Fonio #Vegan #VeganFood #VeganMealPrep #Grains

Having a Fonio Stout, a collab between Brooklyn Brewery and Guinness.
Super cool to see a mass market release with this grain, which is ubiquitous in West Africa.
This plant is almost miraculously well adapted to short growing seasons in otherwise arid places.

Climate change has exacerbated drought and extreme weather in northern Ghana, leaving many in the agricultural region struggling to grow enough food. Chef Fatmata Binta sees a solution in fonio, a grain similar to couscous that is indigenous to West Africa and thrives in dry conditions.

L'Àfrica occidental té un problema: no pot produir tot l'arròs que necessita. La cuina regional, marcada pel colonialisme, depèn de productes importats. Una cuinera de Sierra Leona, Fatmata Binta, lluita per canviar aquesta tendència amb un cultiu tradicional: el fonio. Parlem a @elsaltodiario.com

En África Occidental, el fonio (Digitaria exilis) es uno de los cereales más antiguos del mundo. Fue domesticado hace más de 5.000 años en el Sahel. Tiene un sabor delicado y una textura fina, parecida al cuscús.

As a gardener, how do you feel about letting the crabgrass grow? The seeds are edible if you let them mature. People eat it all across the world. Would you?

I genuinely like fonio especially as someone who cannot digest quinoa. (and if you want to try it this brand has legit West African roots). But chef's cannot tell us what grows well in the US or what happens to local populations dependent on that food when a food blows up.
