About Ibemi

At Ibémi, our mission is to promote Fonio and West African cultures through a range of healthy and original products. Fonio is an ancestral seed that has been cultivated in the Sahel for over 5000 years. Some people call it “African quinoa.” Easy to cook both savory and sweet, Fonio is gluten-free, rich in fiber and amino acids, and suitable for a low glycemic index diet. Growing in poor soils, Fonio is cultivated on a traditional family model, requires very little water and naturally allows and allows to fight desertification. More than a simple seed, Fonio thus contributes to the economic growth of agricultural communities in the Sahel and to the resilience of their land.Read their story
