It is very high in fiber and when added to water, it goes like jelly. It helps in gluten-free baking, makes bread rise better. <br /><br />I just made a huge mistake and added some of it to meatloaf. It was very slimy meatloaf... I thought it just would have made it more moist.

We have sort of "flakes", it is squished and pre-cooked grain. So it takes only 10 minutes to make borridge. <br /><br />But mostly we eat turkish yoghurt and berries and some crushed nuts and seeds for breakfast. Delicious and quick. :) Housewife from Finlandnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-10097147299612958632015-11-23T06:30:20.346-08:002015-11-23T06:30:20.346-08:00Dutch Wiki claims that teff contains gluten, but n...Dutch Wiki claims that teff contains gluten, but not a "dangerous kind of gluten" (I didn't even know there were several kinds), but that it fits into gluten-free diet. Concerning buckwheat, do you mean flour or grain? The problem with low gluten content types of flour is that the bread doesn't rise very well (at least, when using a bread-baking machine). I know you can use buckwheat flour for pancakes, as for grain, it makes a good breakfast, but you must cook it for such a long time...<br /><br />The convenience of teff is, it makes instant breakfast, the negative side is it's expensive.

Also the packages say that it is "naturally gluten free", and here in Finland they are very strick with those package labels. <br /><br />I am celiac myself but haven't tried Teff jet. I should propably give it a try. I prefer buckwheat, I like it's taste and it is also very healthy. <br /><br />Housewife from Finlandnoreply@blogger.com
