Teff Breakfast Cereal
March 28, 2017
Teff is a super grain and the smallest one around. It is smaller than a poppy seed. Super grains are full of nutrients and contain protein. Teff is a good source of calcium, fiber, and absorbable iron.
From my experience, teff was more satisfying than oatmeal and did NOT need sugar. It does have more calories, but it contains resistant starch. Resistant starch is a prebiotic that feeds the good bacteria in the gut.
In my upcoming Spring Cleanse I include super grains. I always list some as an option, but this is the first time the suggested meal plan has some recipes that contain super grains. Remember a cleanse is not about deprivation.
