From the look, it can't replace my rice.

It's more expensive than rice. Rice is 1600 for a kilo Archa or Fonio is 2400 a kilo

JuanDeDios:

That thing should be DECLARED UNFIT for human consumption by FG. It should remain banned until someone invents a way to process the sand out of it or process it without sand - whichever applies.

Will that ever work?.the grains are as small as the sand and stones..na abandoned project

There is also Bulgar wheat and freekah but i don't think those grains are popular in Nigeria.

Those grains are even higher in protein than rice.

The adjustment to suffering continues...! SMH.


Next thing, you start seeing the following topics:

1. How to get used to daily fasting in the face of Hyperinflation.

2. The dangers of eating Breakfast and Dinner everyday.

3. How to dry sliced yams and plantains to eat in the future.

4. The Nutritional Benefits of mice and other rodents.


Etc... embarassed
