Teff is a nutrient-rich ancient grain from Ethiopia. It is the smallest grain in the world and comes in various colors, including white, red, and brown. In addition to being gluten-free, teff is rich in dietary fiber, iron, calcium, and protein. It’s often celebrated for its ability to provide sustained energy and promote digestion.
