White Teff
Eragrostis Tef
Grow versatility and tradition with White Teff! This warm-season annual grass reaches 3–4 feet tall and is prized for its tiny, edible seeds. Known for its adaptability, White Teff thrives in diverse conditions, from marginal soils and waterlogged areas to drought-prone environments. However, it requires warm soil to germinate.
White Teff has a shallow yet extensive and fibrous root system, making it a resilient crop. Certain varieties can grow from sea level to elevations as high as 10,500 feet. A staple in Ethiopian cuisine, teff is most famously used to make injera but is also excellent for baking bread or preparing as a delicious hot cereal.
Bring the tradition and resilience of White Teff to your garden for a nutritious and versatile harvest!
