Preparation, uses, and 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.
Buying and storing tips
Find teff in most natural foods and grocery stores; or buy it in bulk for maximum savings.
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.
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.
