That Tiny Grain, Teff

Filed under: Food,Health/ Fitness,Things I Love — gardener @ 10:58 am

Being the forever curious I am, I love when something new crosses my path that strikes the core of my curiosity. In this case, it was the tiniest grain in the world- Teff. Back in the day, quinoa had become a huge favorite of mine long before it was as readily available as it is now. To this day it’s my favorite and I buy in bulk. I use it instead of rice in most everything and the nutrition can’t be beat, but I digress- we aren’t discussing ‘that’ grain, we’re discussing Teff.

I had read bits and bobs here and there over the years about Teff, but nothing that really struck me. Last week, though- I was perusing Instagram and came across this Teff porridge and immediately my ears and tastebuds perked.

After pulling out my trusty BFF for all information (Google), I found several recipes that I knew I’d want to make.    I went to my ‘go to’ website for all the healthy grains and other healthy products I enjoy (vitamins, freeze dried fruits, flours, grains, essential oils and more).  I love one stop shopping and I was able to find the Bob’s Red Mill Teff for a great price.  I’m a HUGE fan of the quality of products that Bob’s sells, so I added some to my cart at <a href=”http://iherb.com/?rcode=QJK747″ Target=”BLANK”>iHerb</a> and checked out.     I’ve been using iHerb for years, so I know that not only is the one-stop-shopping amazing, but also that their customer service is outstanding BUT their delivery quick.     All huge reasons they continue to be my ‘go to’ place to this day.

My Teff order arrived yesterday and today I made an amazing porridge with the recipe straight off the back of Bob’s Red Mill bag.     I personalized it a little to suit me, but it was so delicious!

My next experiment will be creating some deliciousness with some Teff flour- that I’ll be ordering soon!

If you would like to order some Teff flour or anything for that matter-  Use the code “QJK747” when you check out and you’ll receive a discount on your first order-   Trust me, it’s worth it.  You won’t be sorry-  plus those hard to find things you can’t seem to find-  they probably have them if it’s relating to a healthy lifestyle.

Enjoy-   and if you’ve tried Teff, I’d love to hear your thoughts about it.
