Thank you for the information regarding Teff. I will definitely do more research on this super grain. I appreciate your video content. Keep up the good work

South African farmers have been using this for decades with alfalfa and sorghum pastures... Some even add oats to their dairy pastures, it's very good and takes virtually no care here in South Africa with reseeding. I would think only the oats and sorghum would need reseeding

Yes. Teff makes a yummy porridge or flat bread.

The flatbread is good if you have the chance to go to an Ethiopian restaurant. It has kind of a jiggly, gelatinous consistency. Great for eating stewed meat, vegetables and foods the consistency similar yoghurt or hummus with bread, your hands and no other utensils.

It has a protein called Glycin. Teff must be taken with caution by Gluten sensitive or Celiac people as your immune system could react to this protein as it would to a Gluten protein found in wheat. Everyone is different - test your reaction to Teff with caution. 11:34

Thank you for this information, its always good to find other grains for food. The warming planet means that we can grow different types, which would not survive before. I love the idea of following a hay crop with moveable chicken coops.

I've got a handful of seeds. I'll be planting it in spring.

I've intercropped with Soya twice, and grown for seed production numerous times in Zambia 🇿🇲 it is a nice crop to grow but the margins are not in it at this time for most farmers to grow it so they stick with wheat or barley and we grow it in our dry winter so we have to irrigate.

Water usage? Days to harvest?

Thankyou so much for this. I'm thinking right now of various KZbinrs who if they don't know about Tef. As a carnivore I distinguish between plant based protein and animal based protein for its bioavailability. I for would be intrested in a comparison of how well it works on non-arable land for instance desert lands, how much I'd its growth negative to the soil biome? But thanks so much for the information - the first place this video is being sent is a celiac friend with a suggestion of local Eritrean restaurants. What we never new about the Live Aid concerts was that starvation was constructed by humans and perpetrated on the Eritreans. Many left their lands and moved to Europe hence our restaurants. My apologies but I do not know if that happened in North America?

HI, I'm the researcher for this channel and I can clarify some things for you. It is drought hardy, though not quite as much as sorghum, and millet varieties. (Both are also great gluten free options. Pearl millet is another video that's coming up soon and you'll find that just as interesting.) Teff''s pretty hardy, I grew up in the deserts of Namibia and I've seen it grown here to great success, though we prefer millet as a staple crop. If they get a good amount of water in their beginning stages, you can pull them through no problem. And the soil doesn't need to be the most fertile either. Most of the African grains can get along with much less than wheat and corn. As for the ancient American grains, they're still around, their consumption has just been greatly reduced by the mass production of corn and wheat. Almost all of them are gluten free too, and much more readily available.

Maybe another option along with millet and sorghum for animal feed. That what I just got several pounds of bird seed which is mostly two kinds of millet to broadcast.
