Happy Wellness Wednesday but first let’s chat about women being movers & shakers. Juka’s Organic Co. was established in 2013 by Juka Ceesay. After owning an African food market in the City of Los Angeles in 2008 for a few years. Juka realized there was a lack of authentic and natural products in the united states from Africa. Juka’s objective is to partner with women from Villages Of Africa to combine variety of innovative items, such as : Organic Red Palm Oil, Shea butter, Moringa Powder, Coconut oil and lots more, from the historic past of Africa to tailor them to fit today’s contemporary life while still maintaining the authenticity of these products.
One of our most additions is an African Whole Grain call, FONIO. This whole grain is a common food in the West African region and has been used by many villagers for centuries until rice was later introduced to them. Little did they know it was a much better choice to actually stick with their first love, FONIO.
The low glycemic index in fonio makes it a much healthier option than rice and it is also believe to be a much healthier choice than quinoa. This is particularly important for those with diabetes. Fonio is also accredited with other nutrients such as being high in Protein and even has Amino Acid that many other grains lack. This tiny African whole grain is also filled with natural fiber making it easier on your digestive system than many carbohydrate foods.It is also rich in Iron, Calcium & Magnesium. Fonio is a great substitute for rice and us also great with fresh salads.
