Whole grain teff
Whole-grain teff is intact edible teff grain, cooked in liquid for soft porridge or used as a grain ingredient in baking.
About Whole grain teff
Whole-grain teff is the small edible grain of a cereal crop, sold with its outer grain layers intact. The grains are tiny and commonly appear in pale ivory, reddish-brown or darker shades, depending on the variety.
It is cooked in liquid as a soft porridge or used as a grain ingredient in baking and other foods. Cooked teff tends to be tender, with a mild, earthy flavour; the grain’s small size can produce a cohesive texture. This entry refers to intact teff grain, not teff flour or a prepared cereal.

Measured nutrition can differ between intact dry grain and cooked teff because cooking changes water content. Flour and prepared products should be compared separately from whole grain.
