Teff is a grain that comes in a variety of colors, from white and red to dark brown. Teff grows predominantly in Ethiopia and Eritrea, and thrives even in difficult climates.
For several years, teff has been an ingredient and a staple grain in many Ethiopian dishes. The grain has a very mild, nutty flavor, and it packs a serious nutritional punch. The tiny super cereal also has a long list of health benefits.
