Organic Teff Flour
What it is
This is a finely milled flour made from teff grains, a tiny ancient grain originating from Ethiopia. The flour is a light brown color and has a smooth texture, making it versatile for various culinary applications.
How people cook with it
Teff flour can be used in both sweet and savory cooking. Its distinct flavor adds depth to baked goods and can be a base for interesting sauces.
- Thickening stews
- Making pancakes
- Creating flatbreads
It works well in combination with other flours to achieve a desired texture. For flatbreads like injera, it is traditionally fermented, creating a characteristic sour taste and spongy texture. In other recipes, it can be incorporated into muffins, cookies, or even as a binder in meatballs. Its mild flavor allows it to blend well with other ingredients.
How it differs from similar foods
Its small grain size contributes to its fine texture.
How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store the teff flour in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Once opened, it is best to use it within a few months for optimal flavor. Refrigeration is not typically necessary if stored properly.
