Teff grain is gluten free.
While all grains belong to the grass family, teff is a distant cousin to the gluten containing grains of wheat, rye, barley, and oats. Teff contains a type of storage protein, called a prolamin, just as the gluten-containing grains do, but the teff prolamin has different amino acid sequences and is different enough that people with gluten sensitivity don't react to it.
This is good news, because teff is very high protein grain that has a lot of flavor. It is one of the foods I call "feel good foods".
It makes a great breakfast cereal, cooked with a couple of dates for extra flavor and sweetness.
Teff, sometimes spelled Tef, is native to Ethiopia, and is used there to make the traditional flatbread called Injera. Injera is eaten with the fingers: you break a piece off and use it to scoop up the other foods.
