Grown and consumed predominantly on the African continent, in Ethiopia and Eritrea, Teff is the smallest grain in the world. With a distinctive, delicious taste - reminiscent of hazlenuts, Teff is a nutritional powerhouse being rich in phosphorus, magnesium, copper, zinc, calcium and manganese. (In Southern Africa, Teff is given to race horses to improve performance)
The iron content of Teff is three times greater than wheat! In Ethiopia, the traditional daily bread is called Injera; eaten daily, it supplies sufficient essential amino acids to sustain life without any other protein source!
