What is Thiakry?

Thiakry, also known as Degue, is a steamed and fermented millet grain often mixed with sweetened dairy, yogurt, or cream to create a cold dessert that’s both satisfying and nutritious. With a slightly nutty flavor and fluffy texture, Thiakry is a cultural staple and a crowd-pleaser at family gatherings, celebrations, and everyday meals.

Naturally Wholesome

Made from 100% natural millet, this grain is high in fiber, iron, and essential nutrients, making it a healthy choice for both traditional and modern diets. It’s gluten-free, easy to digest, and naturally energizing—great for anyone seeking a wholesome, plant-based grain.

Quick & Easy to Prepare

Our Thiakry is pre-cleaned and ready to steam or cook. Simply pair it with sweetened milk, yogurt, coconut milk, or your favorite non-dairy alternatives, and top with raisins, nuts, or spices like nutmeg and vanilla for a truly authentic West African treat.

Versatile Culinary Uses
