<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Teff Native to northern Africa, teff is a miniscule (about 1/32 inch in diameter) cereal grain. It's been a staple of Ethiopia for eons and is now being grown in the United States in Idaho. The mildly nutty-flavored teff is high in protein and carbohydrates and a good source of calcium and iron. It can be found in some health-food stores.
