Teff interesting facts.

Eragrostis tef or teff, also known as Williams lovegrass is an annual grass, a species of lovegrass native to Ethiopia but successfully cultivated in South Africa. The word "teff" is based on a word which means "lost" (because of the small size of the grain).

Eragrostis tef has an attractive nutrition profile, being high in dietary fiber and iron and providing protein and calcium. It is similar to millet and quinoa in cooking, but the seed is much smaller and cooks faster, thus using less fuel.

In 1996, the USNRC characterized teff as having the "potential to improve nutrition, boost food security, foster rural development and support sustainable landcare."

Teff has been widely cultivated and used in South Africa and neighborhood countries. Teff accounts for about a quarter of total cereal production in South Africa.

Nutritional value:

Teff is gluten-free (and therefore can be consumed by celiacs) and has a high concentration of different nutrients, a very high calcium content, and significant levels of the minerals

phosphorus, magnesium, aluminum, iron, copper, zinc, boron and barium, and also of thiamin. Teff is high in protein. It is considered to have an excellent amino acid composition, including all 8 essential amino acids for humans, and is higher in lysine than wheat or barley.

Teff is high in carbohydrates and fiber. In one 2003–2004 study in Ethiopia, farmers indicated a preference among consumers for white teff over darker colored varieties. Teff is gaining popularity in the western United States as an alternative forage crop, in rotation with a légume such as alfalfa, because it uses C4 photosynthesis, similar to that of corn.

It is noted for its high quality and high yield, when compared to other forage rotations. It is also known as an "emergency crop" because it is planted late in the spring when the growing season is warmer, and most other crops have already been planted. It does not tolerate any type of frost.

Teff is also valued for its fine straw, which is traditionally mixed with mud for building purposes.

The first draft of the Eragrostis tef genome was published in 2014.
