Magna
A tier
Magna is an improved Ethiopian teff cultivar selected for yield and agronomic performance while retaining injera-quality grain. It represents modern breeding that aims to feed more people without abandoning fermentation behaviour cooks expect. Specify Magna when supply chains name cultivars; otherwise treat as quality white/brown class teff per lot colour. Suitable for commercial injera production where consistency matters.
