If you haven’t heard of Teff yet, get ready to meet your new favourite supergrain!

Packed with nutrition, flavour, and versatility. Originating in Ethiopia and Eritrea, this ancient grain is now popping up in kitchens around the world, and for good reason. But what does it actually taste like—and how do you use it in everyday cooking?

So, What Does Teff Taste Like?

Teff is gluten-free, has a naturally nutty, earthy flavour with a hint of sweetness. Some people say it reminds them of hazelnuts or chestnuts, while others describe it as slightly malty or reminiscent of cocoa.

Brown teff has a rich, deep, almost chocolatey taste—perfect for hearty breads and baked goods.

Ivory or white teff is milder and more delicate, making it great for lighter dishes like pancakes, porridge, or even smoothies. Are you looking for free recipes? We have a few winning recipes lined up for you.

Falvours & combenations

Because teff absorbs flavours beautifully, it pairs wonderfully with both sweet and savoury ingredients—think cinnamon and honey for breakfast, or garlic and herbs for dinner.
