About Injera
Injera is a traditional Ethiopian flatbread known for its spongy texture and slightly tangy flavor. Made primarily from teff flour, a gluten-free ancient grain, injera is rich in essential nutrients like iron, calcium, and fiber. Teff is also a low-glycemic carbohydrate, making injera a healthier choice for managing blood sugar levels. The batter is fermented before cooking, enhancing its digestibility and adding probiotics that support gut health. Injera serves as both a plate and utensil in Ethiopian and Eritrean cuisine, used to scoop up hearty stews and vegetable dishes. While its nutritional profile is robust, its high sodium content from fermentation and preparation may require moderation for individuals watching their salt intake. Overall, injera combines cultural significance with health benefits, offering a versatile and nourishing addition to meals.
