OTI Gluten-Free Fonio Flour

Finely milled fonio flour produced from premium, certified gluten-free Fonio (Digitaria spp.) grains sourced from West Africa. This ancient, small-grain cereal yields a light, slightly nutty, neutral-tasting flour that integrates well into a wide range of gluten-free and composite formulations.

Key features

• Fine, whole-grain flour texture suitable for direct use in doughs, batters and sauces
• Naturally gluten-free — an option for gluten-free product lines and special-diet formulations
• Nutrient-rich: a source of carbohydrates, dietary fibre, protein, vitamins and minerals

Typical applications

• Commercial and artisanal baking: biscuits, bread, cakes, cookies, doughnuts and pies
• Savoury preparations and sauces (as part of roux or as a thickening component)
• Breakfast cereals, porridges and ready-to-eat mixes
• Blends for gluten-free flour mixes, nutritional products and infant/elderly nutrition formulations

Logistics & handling

• Suitable for bulk/industrial use; packaging formats, lot sizes and private-label options can be arranged with the supplier
• Store in a cool, dry place in sealed containers to preserve freshness and prevent moisture uptake

Why use fonio flour

Fonio provides an ancient-grain alternative that brings distinct nutritional and sensory attributes to gluten-free and specialty food products. It is well suited to manufacturers and brands looking to diversify ingredient sourcing, create nutrient-forward products, or develop gluten-free bakery and convenience items.
