The health benefits of TastyTeff are undeniable, but at this point you may be wondering how to use it. Like many gluten free flours, TastyTeff does not do well as a direct substitute for wheat flour, but with the right recipe you can work wonders. These are some guidelines. Cookies and biscuits TastyTeff works wonders for all types of cookies! However, you should use different amounts of TastyTeff flour depending on the flavour and type of cookie. For example, chocolate-chip and nut-butter cookies are thick, chewy, and moist with 50-100% TastyTeff flour. On the other hand, you’re always safe using 25% TastyTeff flour for any cookie recipe, even if you’re not looking for a nutty, chocolatey, or sweet taste from the flour. Pancakes and Waffles: Cooking with anywhere from 25% to 100% TastyTeff flour is great for pancakes! TastyTeff gives a sweet taste with a fluffy and tender texture, and the pancake colour will only significantly darken if you use more than 50% TastyTeff flour. Banana Bread: Baking with 50% TastyTeff flour makes a great tasting banana bread where the nutty flavour of TastyTeff and bananas go great together to form a smooth and delicious treat! Brownies: TastyTeff works great with chocolate, and brownies are a great way to show it! Baking with 100% TastyTeff flour gives a deliciously moist and deep chocolate flavour, as TastyTeff and cocoa powder complement each other well. Cakes: TastyTeff works best chocolate and coffee cakes that are baked with 75-100% TastyTeff flour. For a lighter sponge, layer, or pound cake, substituting 25% of the flour with TastyTeff will make a tender and moist cake. Muffins: Baking with 25% TastyTeff flour produces muffins that have a moist texture with some mild sweetness from the flour itself. If you are baking muffins with nuts or chocolate, we recommend using 50%-100% TastyTeff flour to add a more pronounced taste. Although the muffin will be denser, including nuts, cocoa powder, or chocolate will mask any grittiness from the flour. Using higher levels of TastyTeff will not work with all recipes, however, as it can produce a dense, dry, and grittier result for two main reasons: Higher levels of TastyTeff in certain recipes may form drier and dense results because of the fact that TastyTeff is a gluten-free grain and should be compensated with more liquids, just like you would in any gluten-free baking recipes.

Here are some of the other, lesser known health benefits associated with this ancient grain: • TastyTeff contains 20% to 40% resistant starches and has a low glycemic index (GI) rating – this makes it a great choice for diabetics to help manage blood sugar. • The high fiber content of TastyTeff is great for regulating digestion, helping relieve issues with diarrhea and constipation. • One serving of TastyTeff provides 10% each of your daily recommended value for vitamin B6 and zinc, nutrients essential for healthy cardiovascular, digestive, muscular, and nervous system function as well as strong immunity. • TastyTeff is naturally low in sodium, making it a heart-healthy choice for people with high blood pressure or other cardiovascular risk factors. • A single serving of TastyTeff contains 69% of your daily recommended value for magnesium, a mineral essential for healthy function of the muscular, nervous, and cardiovascular systems. • TastyTeff tops the charts for calcium content among ancient grains, containing 123 mg/1 cup cooked which is five times as much as whole wheat. • Most grains don’t contain significant amounts of calcium, but TastyTeff does – it is very beneficial for the immune system as well as healthy bones and tissues.

I understand that Teff is a traditional grain in Ethiopia and one of the country’s staple foods. It’s highly nutritious and naturally gluten-free. But can it be used in cooking other than baking?
