Washing and removing sand from fonio are difficult operations that require a lot of patience and a lot of water.
It takes about 10 litres of water to wash and remove the sand from 1kg of fonio.
The Aval Fonio project is aiming to develop washing and sand removal machinery.
The prototypes produced will be tested in the laboratory and pilot equipment will subsequently be developed with small fonio processing companies in Mali and Burkina Faso.

In a large bowl, wash the fonio grains by submerging in warm water, swishing the grains around with your fingers, then pouring out and replacing the water several times until it runs clear.
Drain well.
You can cook it in a steamer basket or just in a pot on the stove.
I’ve also had success cooking it in the rice cooker, if you have one.
You can always add a little bit of butter or oil to the fonio while cooking to keep the grains more separated, if you’d like.
If you can’t find fonio, quinoa would make a good substitute.
Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a medium pot.
Stir in the cleaned raw fonio and 1 tablespoon of salt, cover tightly with the lid, and turn the heat to low.
Turn off the heat and gently fluff with a fork, making sure you fluff the bottom where it’s wetter.
