Teff

Buying Tips

Find teff in most natural foods and grocery stores; or buy it in bulk for maximum savings.

Varieties

Teff comes in white, brown, and red. The flavor of each is best described as nutty. Teff is used in cereals and in baked goods like crackers, cookies, and breads. It is available packaged as a whole grain or flour.

Preparation, Uses, & Tips

Add teff flour to gingerbread or substitute it for wheat flour in pancakes. Cook the whole grain and serve it with sliced peaches and toasted almonds as a breakfast cereal.

Storing

Store it in a cool, dry area in a sealed glass or plastic container, because air, moisture, and sunlight can cause the oils to become rancid.
