History

Teff is a cereal little known in our culinary culture, but it has been used in the African diet for over five thousand years. It is a small grain, and it has been shown that it was already cultivated by ancient civilizations and even used by the Egyptian pharaohs (Stallenecht, 1993). For more than two decades, this cereal has begun to re-emerge, and now all the advantages of this tiny seed are being discovered, both in the agronomic and nutritional fields. Teff is a very manageable cereal, so it is also used in all kinds of baked goods, beverages, ingredients, and sauces. Likewise, the grain and straw are used for livestock feed.

The research being carried out is aimed at studying its properties for use as a technological food and at studying its properties related to health through nutrition, while also continuing the experiments being conducted on its cultivation in different Spanish regions.
