Teff Grain
Teff grain is a small gluten-free grain—about the size of a poppy seed—that thrives in Ethiopia. It is known to have mild, nutty notes and is rich in calcium, iron, and fiber. It is also a key ingredient in Injera, the traditional Ethiopian flatbread and staple.
Spices
Spices like mitmita and berbere add a kick to your favorite traditional dishes like shiro, doro wot, and alecha. They are also rich in nutrients that can help lower risks for chronic health issues.
