Teff is a sweet tasting grain unlike any other. Ivory Teff has a milder flavor than the brown teff. Tinier than a poppy seed, teff is a nutritional powerhouse. An 8oz serving of teff yields 32% of the USRDA for calcium and 80% for iron. While not a complete protein like quinoa, a 2 oz serving of
teff has 7 grams of protein, equal to an extra large egg. Teff is low in fat (1 gram per 2oz serving), and high in fiber (8 grams per 2 oz serving). In all grains, nutrients concentrate in the germ and the bran. With the teff the germ and the bran make up almost the whole grain. Since teff is too small to hull, it can't be refined or lose nutritional value. Teff is a gluten-free grain.
Teff grain has the versatility of corn meal and millet. It is delicious in porridge, stews, stuffing, and pilaf. Teff is delicious cooked alone or in combination with other grains(brown rice, millet, buckwheat groats) and vegetables. Simple cook 1 cup teff with 3 cups water or stock. Season with your favorite spices. Teff is ideal for a fast meal, ready in 20 minutes.
