Injera

Injera is a traditional Ethiopian and Eritrean sourdough flatbread made from teff flour, widely used as a plate and utensil for stews and salads. It is naturally fermented, giving it a tangy flavor and a light, spongy texture that soaks up sauces well. Nutritionally, teff-based injera is low in fat and provides 4.2g of protein per 100g, along with notable amounts of iron and other minerals from the whole grain. Because it is a fermented whole-grain product, it tends to be higher in fiber and more mineral-bioavailable than many refined flatbreads, and the sourdough fermentation can support digestibility and gut-friendly microbes.
