Origin of Teff: The Supergrain Behind the World’s Best Injera

Teff is one of the world’s oldest cultivated grains, tracing its origins back to Ethiopia over 6,000 years ago. For millennia, it has been the foundation of Ethiopian, Eritrean, and broader African cuisine, forming the base of the beloved injera and other traditional dishes. Its name is derived from the Amharic word "teffa," meaning "lost," referring to the tiny size of its seeds—among the smallest of any cereal grain.

Despite its size, Teff is a nutritional powerhouse. It is naturally gluten-free, making it an excellent choice for those with dietary restrictions. It is also rich in protein, iron, calcium, and essential amino acids, contributing to a balanced and healthy diet. While best known for its role in making injera, Teff Flour is also incredibly versatile, used in porridge, puddings, cakes, muffins, breads, and even as a rice alternative.

With its deep roots in Ethiopian history and growing popularity worldwide, Teff has become a highly sought-after superfood. Outback Harvest brings you the best of this ancient grain, carefully processed to retain all of its natural goodness and nutritional benefits.

The Art of Fermentation: Unlocking Injera’s Signature Flavor and Texture

Fermentation is at the heart of Injera-making, transforming simple ingredients into a flavorful, airy flatbread that is both delicious and nutritious. The fermentation process is what gives the best Injera its signature tangy taste and soft, sponge-like texture, making it the perfect base for scooping up hearty Ethiopian stews and curries.

Teff Flour plays a crucial role in this natural fermentation. Unlike other grains, Our Australian Teff contains wild yeast and lactic acid bacteria, which, when mixed with water and allowed to ferment over 2-3 days, naturally create the bubbles and tangy aroma characteristic of authentic injera. The fermentation process enhances the digestibility of the flour, breaking down anti-nutrients and increasing the bioavailability of its rich minerals and vitamins.

Outback Harvest's finely milled Teff Flour ensures a smooth and consistent batter, which is key to achieving even fermentation. With our high-quality flour, you can confidently create the best injera that rises beautifully, develops a well-balanced sourness, and maintains a delicate, airy texture.
