Teff,
Eragrostis abyssinica ( Eragrostis tef )
This is a small seeded relative of the millets. It is a staple crop of
Ethiopia where it is made into a baked pancake called 'injera'.
Teff contains 14% protein and 2% fat. It is a good source of calcium, iron
and thiamine, better than other cereal grains. It produces a brown flour
with excellent baking qualities.
Good luck to all with you injera!
