Premium Gold and Terra Ingredients Announce Launch of New Retail Fonio Products in the U.S.

Premium Gold and Terra Ingredients unite to bring responsibly sourced fonio to market with a shared commitment to traceability, farmer partnerships, and regenerative agriculture.

MANDAN, N.D.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Premium Gold, in partnership with Terra Ingredients, today announced the launch of its first fonio products for the U.S. market — Natural White Fonio in 10 oz and 2.2 lb stand-up pouches — bringing one of the world’s oldest and most nutrient-dense grains to more consumers nationwide.

This launch marks a significant milestone in expanding access to fonio, an ancient West African grain celebrated for centuries for its nutrition, resilience, and culinary versatility. Naturally gluten free, quick cooking, and rich in fiber, iron, and essential amino acids, fonio offers American consumers a nourishing grain option that fits modern lifestyles while honoring one of the world’s oldest cultivated cereals.

Sourced through Premium Gold’s partnership with Terra Ingredients, the new fonio line reflects both companies’ shared commitment to ethical sourcing, regenerative farming practices, and building transparent supply chains that connect consumers to meaningful food origins.

“Fonio is an extraordinary grain with tremendous potential in the U.S. market,” said Mike Marshall, CEO of Premium Gold. “Its nutritional profile, versatility, and cultural significance make it a natural fit for Premium Gold’s mission to bring distinctive, responsibly sourced grains to more tables across the country.”

The new Premium Gold Natural White Whole Grain Fonio products will launch first at PremiumGoldFoods.com and Amazon with online and retail grocery distribution expanding nationwide in the months ahead.

“We are proud to deepen our partnership with Premium Gold through this launch,” said Peter Carlson, Director at Terra Ingredients. “Together, we are helping introduce more consumers to fonio while supporting a supply chain rooted in farmer partnerships and long-term sustainability.”

With this introduction, Premium Gold continues to broaden its portfolio of premium ancient grains and functional foods, bringing consumers innovative pantry staples that combine nutrition, convenience, and global food heritage.
