Culinary Use

Due to its versatility in the kitchen, teff is widely used in baking and oven-baked recipes, as well as in all kinds of soups, stews, and desserts.

Because of its size and high density, the proportion used in recipes is much smaller than other seeds or flours it might replace.

Example: 1/2 cup of teff replaces 1 cup of sesame seeds.

When cooked, teff flour acquires a gelatinous texture, making it ideal for adding body to puddings or dishes that require it.

As a good thickener, it can be used perfectly in both sweet and savory creams and sauces.

It can be sweetened with agave syrup or honey when making breads, cakes, cookies, pastries, energy bars, etc.
