4. Teff
Teff looks very much like poppy seeds, having a nutty, grainy taste and texture. In Amharic, the official language of Ethiopia, the word teff means “lost,” which is exactly what will occur if you drop a seed. “It’s the world’s smallest grain,” says Grotto. “Even so, it packs more heart-healthy fiber than almost any other food on the planet.”
And unlike other grains, teff is gluten free, making it a great wheat alternative for people with celiac disease.
Pro tip: Mix cooked teff with herbs, seeds, beans, garlic, and onions to make super healthy veggie burgers.
