These tiny seeds have a mild, nutty, and slightly earthy flavor, and they vary in color—from ivory to red to deep brown—each offering its own subtle taste differences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTeff is best known as the key ingredient in \u003cstrong\u003einjera\u003c\/strong\u003e, the traditional fermented flatbread central to East African cuisine. Beyond injera, the seeds can be cooked into porridges, added to stews, or used in baking. They also function as a naturally gluten-free grain option, making them useful in modern recipes that call for alternative grains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNutritionally, Teff Seeds are rich in fiber, plant-based protein, and important minerals like calcium, iron, and magnesium, making them a wholesome addition to a varied diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSimmer a quarter cup of the seeds in a cup of water for about fifteen minutes for a soft porridge, or grind them to flour in a spice grinder and use that flour for an injera batter left to ferment at room temperature for two to three days. The whole seeds also toast briefly and scatter over salads and breads for crunch. Keep them sealed in a cool cupboard. Technique tip: stir the porridge often in the first few minutes, since the grains are tiny enough to settle and catch on the base of the pan before the starch thickens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eEragrostis tef\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlso known as:\u003c\/strong\u003e Teff, Taf, Lovegrass, Khak Shir, Williams' Lovegrass, ጤፍ, تف\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ameen Foods","offers":[{"title":"200g (Jar)","offer_id":42203008499734,"sku":"","price":11.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"400g (Pouch)","offer_id":42203008532502,"sku":"","price":16.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000g (Pouch)","offer_id":42203008565270,"sku":"","price":29.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8602\/2678\/files\/TeffSeeds.png?v=1716831496","url":"https:\/\/ameenfoods.ca\/products\/teff-seeds-khak-sheer","provider":"Ameen Foods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
