Teff cereal

[OakLeaf]

I've been seeing whole teff in the stores for close to a year now, but hadn't got around to trying it until a couple of weeks ago. My default for stuff I haven't tried is to buy some, then look for recipes, but think I was put off by the fact that I really don't like quinoa or amaranth, the last two starchy seeds I've tried. (Unlike those, though, teff is a grain/grass.)

It's yummy and very filling, nutty with a little bit of crunch. It's supposed to be very nutritious and high-quality protein. This one will stay in my pantry!

Ethiopians make a kind of bread out of it. YUM

Yes, I love injera, but I'd never had the whole grain before.

Factoid: the type of yeasts that are available in the USA won't grow on teff flour, and the FDA doesn't allow the African yeast strains to be imported, so you can't get 100% teff injera in the USA. I think most bakers use some wheat flour in addition to teff.
