For the uninitiated, yassa is a popular Senegalese chicken dish that's made with caramelized onions, lime juice, and chilis. Yolélé brings fun to the table in the form of fonio, a West African grain known for its nutty, earthy flavor. It's ready to eat in just 5 minutes, and makes a light and fluffy pilaf that goes great with roasted meats or grilled veggies.

Ingredient Integrity

Yolélé connects smallholder farmers (mainly women) with local and global markets. These farmers employ regenerative techniques like intercropping, cover-cropping, and crop rotation, which give back to the earth rather than depleting its resources.

Low Carbon Footprint

Yolélé creates a market for traditional crops grown under a more resilient farming system, meaning that more land is devoted to farming more biodiverse crop systems.

Recyclable Packaging

Committed to Social Good

Yolélé donates money and product to various organizations such as Whole Planet, DIG, Chefs 4 Impact, and Fuel the People.

Rave Worthy

Our team personally tests every product to make sure it’s good enough to end up in your home, not a landfill.

How it does good

Most people in West Africa rely on farming to live, but don't have access to markets or economic security. Many young people looking for job opportunities leave for overcrowded cities and struggle to find work, or risk their lives trying to get to Europe. That's why Yolélé crafts foods and snacks that provide economic opportunity for smallholder farmers. Buying West Africa's oldest cereal grain can help alleviate extreme poverty, unlock opportunities, and transform communities in West Africa.
