1. teff

   Teff is a type of cereal grain that originated in Ethiopia and continues to be a significant food source in that region. It is the smallest grain in the world, with a diameter of about 1 mm. Teff is high in dietary fiber, protein, iron, calcium and thiamin, and is gluten-free, which makes it an excellent alternative for people with gluten intolerance or celiac disease. It is traditionally ground into flour and used to make a flatbread called injera. In recent years, its nutritional benefits have gained increased global recognition, resulting in its cultivation in several other countries.
