The Power of Teff
Teff is the grain Ethiopia gave the world — tiny seeds that form the basis of injera. It has more calcium than milk per serving, more iron than wheat, and a complete amino acid profile rare in grains. It is gluten-free. It ferments naturally into a probiotic food when used for injera. Its glycemic index is lower than wheat flour, making it excellent for blood sugar management.
