Answer:

Sometimes called a superfood, fonio is nutrient-rich and gluten-free, making it easy to digest. Plus, it has a low glycemic index, so it doesn't cause blood sugar to spike. It's a hardy crop, needing little fertilizer or attention to grow.

Fonio is a good source of B vitamins, including thiamine, riboflavin, and niacin, which are necessary for the growth, development, and function of cells, as well as energy production

Explanation: ive studied fonio before and now have done extra research
