[ Private Label And Packaging Information ]

Also Known As: TEFF

Product Info:
The defining characteristic of Teff is the small size of this seed. In fact, the English translation of Teff from its Ethiopian origins means "lost," because the seed is so tiny and easy to lose. Teff's small size makes harvesting difficult so it is an expensive grain. Teff is high in protein and carbohydrates and is a good source of calcium and iron. Teff has a slightly sweet and potent nutty flavor reminiscent of hazelnuts. Since Teff is so fine in texture and difficult to chew, dry-roasting, soaking and sauting are recommended prior to use.

Suggested Use:
Teff makes it a good morning cereal as it is similar to Cream of Wheat, but more nutritious. Due to its small size, it works well combined with other larger grains in a stuffing or a pilaf such as below. Toeasting is recommended prior to cooking.

Ingredients:
Teff brown.

Basic Preparations:
For best results, toast Teff prior to cooking. Bring 4 cups of liquid and 1 cup of Teff to a boil. Reduce heat, simmer for 15-20 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally to prevent lumping. One cup dry yields 3 cups cooked.
