Description
HEIRLOOM Ivory Teff Seed consists of premium Australian-grown ivory teff, one of the world’s smallest ancient grains. Traditionally cultivated in Ethiopia for thousands of years, teff is valued for its mild flavour, versatility, and naturally occurring nutrients. Ivory teff has a lighter colour and a slightly sweeter, more delicate flavour than brown teff, making it suitable for both sweet and savoury recipes.
These tiny whole seeds can be cooked similarly to grains, used in porridge, added to baking, incorporated into salads, or used as an ingredient in traditional Ethiopian dishes such as injera. Their small size allows them to cook quickly while providing texture and variety to everyday meals.
Why Choose Ivory Teff Seed?
Ivory teff is a versatile pantry ingredient that can be used in place of rice, quinoa, millet, or other grains. Its mild flavour complements a wide variety of ingredients without overpowering other flavours.
