Red Teff
A tier
Red teff covers reddish-brown seed lots with earthy depth between brown and the darkest classes—regional Ethiopian preferences vary, and “red” can be a market colour grade rather than a single pedigree. Flavour is full and cereal-rich. Use for darker injera and rustic gluten-free baking. Mix with white teff to tune colour. As with all teff, keep airtight and cool; surface area of flour invites staleness.
