A Word on Injera

Injera is as vital to Ethiopians as rice is to Asians; most Ethiopian dishes are served on top of injera, and pieces of injera are used to pick up the stews that make up the complete meal. The bread’s tang infuses every taste and its softness compliments every bite.

Fresh Teff Injera rolled 

In Ethiopia, the best injera is made from 100% teff.  As a wholemeal, Teff contains the essential nutritional ingredients and is gluten free.  Teff is high in calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, and thiamin and is a good source of fiber.

Preserving the original taste:   

The indigenous hand-made ceramic pan that is used to bake injera (Mitad), the quality of water, and 100% Ethiopian-grown teff is the combination that give the original injera it’s distinctive taste.   In America, batter that is made entirely from teff sticks to the pan; and the small bubbles that make the surface don’t form correctly.  Because of this, it has been a challenge to duplicate the quality of the original Injera. In addition, teff, the small but nutritionally potent grain traditionally used for making injera, is expensive to import, and most injera producers have switched to part-teff blends or use buckwheat and other similarly sour doughs to produce similar consistency.
