Fonio Flour - Dim

Dim Fonio Flour

Wholesome. Versatile. Empowering Communities With Every Bake.

Introducing Dim Fonio Flour, a soft, finely milled flour made from West Africa’s most ancient and climate-resilient grain. Naturally gluten-free, light in texture, and rich in essential nutrients, fonio flour is a beautiful alternative for both everyday cooking and creative baking. From pancakes and breads to porridges, coatings, batters, and gluten-free pastries, its delicate nutty flavour elevates everything it touches.

But this flour carries more than nourishment — it carries a story of courage, renewal, and community transformation.

In Northern Ghana, Salma Abdulai, Co-Founder & CEO of AMAATI, revived the almost-forgotten fonio grain to give landless women an opportunity her own mother never had: access to land, steady income, and dignity. What began with 10 women cultivating 10 acres of abandoned, degraded land has become a powerful movement across 390 rural communities, supporting 9,500+ smallholder farmers (88% of them women) and restoring over 5,000 acres of barren soil.

Every bag of Dim Fonio Flour connects your kitchen to this impact. Women who once had no economic voice now farm sustainably, feed their families, send their children to school, and step confidently into financial independence. AMAATI reinvests its profits into health insurance, training in organic farming, modern farming tools, and employment opportunities — all powered by West Africa’s largest fonio processing facility.

“DIM Fonio is more than a nutritious ingredient — it’s a tribute to the women whose resilience shaped my life. Women like my mother.” — Salma Abdulai
