Tej (Ethiopian Honey Wine) is a traditional Ethiopian honey wine often flavored with a local bittering herb (gesho) and commonly served at social occasions and ceremonies. It is a fermented, mildly alcoholic beverage known for its honeyed sweetness and variable strength depending on preparation. Nutritionally, Tej (Ethiopian Honey Wine) is a sweet alcoholic drink and provides about 9g of sugar per 100g, with very little protein or fiber and only trace amounts of fat. It supplies small amounts of micronutrients such as iron, vitamin B6 and copper but is not a meaningful source of protein or fiber. From a health perspective, Tej (Ethiopian Honey Wine) is best enjoyed occasionally: it contributes sugars and alcohol rather than substantive nutrients or protective plant compounds, so choose lower‑sugar or lower‑alcohol alternatives if you want a lighter option.
