After chia and quinoa, teff is the new superfood that is set to make an entry into the Indian farm sector, courtesy the Mysuru-based Central Food and Technological Research Institute (CFTRI). Teff, a drought-resistant rice, is a staple food crop of Ethiopia, and the grain dates back to the Abyssinian civilisation. âTeff is gluten-free, has high resistant starch, low glycemic load and is rich in essential amino acids,â CFTRI Director Ram Rajasekharan said.
Derived from teff, a grass which is native to Ethiopia, it is the seed that contains much of the nutrition, and it can either be cooked in grain form, or it can be milled and made into flour, which is what weâll be focusing on today. Teff grains are very fine and are roughly the same size as poppy seeds. Whatâs more, they come in many colours, including: white, dark brown, and even red. It thrives in difficult climates, which is one of the reasons why experts believe that it is considered so nutritious.
