Get your family off to a delicious, healthy start to the day with a bowl of this cereal. Simple  to make too. Serve it alongside a serving or two of fresh fruit.

Teff is the world’s smallest grain. It has as much fiber as whole wheat, but doesn’t have the cardboard taste like so many whole wheat cereals have.

In addition to breakfast, teff works great as a side grain to curry dishes.  Serve it alongside your entree like you would rice or polenta; just don’t add the sweetener.

You can also substitute maple syrup, simple syrup or agave for the honey if desired.

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup        Teff Grains
2 cups          Water
pinch           Sea salt
1 tablespoon Coconut oil
4 teaspoons   Honey

PREPARATION
In a medium pot, add teff, water and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer until all the water is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Make sure to stir the teff a couple of times during the last ten minutes of cooking to make sure it does not stick to the bottom of the pan.

When teff is cooked, remove from heat and stir in the coconut oil and honey. Serve warm.
