Teff is a tiny, ancient grain that originates from the Horn of Africa, particularly Ethiopia and Eritrea. Despite its small size, teff is packed with nutrients, making it a valuable addition to various diets. It is naturally gluten-free and rich in protein, fibre, vitamins, and minerals, including calcium and iron.
Teff is primarily known for its use in traditional Ethiopian and Eritrean cuisine, where it's ground into flour to make injera, a spongy, slightly sour flatbread that serves as a staple food in the region. However, teff can also be cooked whole and used similarly to other grains like rice or quinoa, or ground into flour for baking purposes.
In recent years, teff has gained popularity worldwide due to its nutritional benefits and versatility in cooking. It's often praised for its complex flavour profile, which includes hints of nuttiness and sweetness, as well as its ability to enhance both savoury and sweet dishes.
