Love Grass Ethiopia Brown Teff Grain 500g

Love Grass Ethiopia Brown Teff Grain is a premium, nutrient-packed ancient grain sourced directly from the highlands of Ethiopia. Teff is one of the world's smallest grains, yet it is widely celebrated as a "superfood" due to its impressive nutritional profile. This brown variety is known for its earthy, slightly nutty, and chocolatey undertones, offering a more robust flavour compared to the lighter-coloured teff.

As a staple in Ethiopian cuisine—traditionally fermented to make injera (a sourdough flatbread)—teff is naturally gluten-free and has gained global popularity as a versatile, health-promoting addition to modern diets.

Preparation Tips

Teff is very simple to cook, though its tiny size means it behaves differently than larger grains like rice or quinoa.

1. Cooking Ratio: Use 1 part teff to 3 parts water or stock.

2. Simmering: Bring the water to a boil, stir in the teff, and reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for approximately 15–20 minutes.

3. Check Consistency: Most of the liquid will be absorbed, resulting in a creamy, porridge-like consistency. If you prefer a firmer texture for a salad, use slightly less liquid and monitor closely.

4. Flavour Pairings: Its nutty flavour pairs exceptionally well with cinnamon, maple syrup, and berries for breakfast, or with roasted vegetables and tahini for a savoury lunch.

• Baking Tip: You can mix cooked teff into pancake or waffle batters to add texture, or use teff flour (if ground) to replace a portion of your regular flour to increase the nutritional density of your muffins and cakes.
