Re: Food Allergies - Teff Flour

[Guest guest]

Lori, I ended up buying this once during my early years learning the

flow here and it was a no go for so I had to make my own which

he actually prefers.

Hmm, they must detect something.

I be interested to hear about the Teff Flour, never heard of it or

come across it so curious to see what others have to share.

Along how it was used. Thanks.

Lori, sounds like you are on the roll here using this product of the

Teff Flour. I did google it, under Gluten Free Teff Flour, pretty

interesting on using it, as your right on target, Teff is a

gluten-free grain.

There are plenty of recipes that look good using this Teff flour, will

have to modify it around 's diet though.

What have you mad so far?

Teff is the grain used in Ethiopia to make Enjera bread. Available at

Ehtiopian stores and restaurants in this country. Arrowhead also sells the

flour.

Sounds pretty interested, temptation to try it out.

Irma,

THANK YOU for the links. I followed up on all and then one of the links

referenced www.teffco.com <http://www.teffco.com/> which was very good.

Typically I use sorghum as a base in my cooking and then add millet, quinoa,

bean, tapioca and the rest depending on what structure and taste I am hoping

for. It is always a big surprise in my kitchen.

Teff has consistently added good texture, taste and moisture. Because of

its dark color I assumed it was like Buckwheat and had a strong flavor so I

was hesitant to try it but I've been blown away. I added half a cup to a

pizza crust Chebe package and it greatly improved it. We are yeast free as

well so I am always looking for some kind of bread product beyond muffins.

I made half corn meal and half teff pancakes for supper to be used for

sandwiches and they were actually good. My boys really don't like when I

try to make sandwiches out of pancakes. These were heartier, much better.

I raised my boys on whole wheat prior to going gluten free so the white

flours get a big thumbs down in our house.

I am hoping to get the courage to make Ethiopian bread. My friends in grad

school all raved about it but I have never had it. I did read on one blog

that sitting through the 4 days of fermentation can be kind of rough.

Thanks!

Lori, mom to Isaac and Tony
