Kuncho
A tier
Kuncho is an alternate transliteration spelling for Quncho teff—the same widely adopted Ethiopian white improved cultivar appearing as Kuncho in some English sources and seed documents. Treat culinary identity as premium white improved teff. If a supplier lists Kuncho, expect Quncho-type pale grain and modern yield genetics. Still verify lot colour and cleanliness; names travel messier than sacks.
