What Bill Gates likes to eat
In his daily diet, Bill Gates includes fonio, a cereal that is quite common in West Africa.
A member of the same genus as millet, with a nut-like flavor, it is a staple food in many countries on the African continent.
What makes this product special is that it contains more vitamins and minerals than other alternatives, such as rice, and is also low in fat.
It can be consumed both as a grain and as flour, so the variety of cooking options is impressive. It is also a great choice for a vegan diet.

The main advantage of this cereal is its low-calorie content and high nutritional value. Fonio contains a lot of fiber and iron, and B vitamins, including thiamine, niacin, and riboflavin. These vitamins are essential for the growth, development, and functioning of cells.
At the same time, some studies claim that fonio has the highest calcium content of all cereals. Thanks to these nutritional properties, the cereal is an excellent option for those who do not consume dairy products, vegans, and people with lactose intolerance.
The American emphasizes that in the context of global climate change, this crop is protected from adverse weather conditions due to its easy availability.
According to Gates, fonio "can help us fight malnutrition," especially among the younger segment of the population.
"Malnutrition is the first problem I would solve if I had a magic wand," said the tycoon, who has always been committed to social causes.
Among its benefits, fonio improves the condition of hair, skin, and nails, helps fight anemia or diabetes, prevents cramps and muscle pain, and promotes intestinal transit.
