Teff
This ancient Ethiopian grain is experiencing a renaissance of sorts as more and more people are beginning to incorporate it into their diets. About the size of a poppyseed, teff is gluten-free, rich in vitamins and minerals, and is also a resistant starch that doesn’t cause blood sugar spikes. Full of fiber and manganese, this ancient grain helps manage diabetic symptoms by slowing the release of insulin into the bloodstream. Eat it like a porridge, treat it like grits or polenta, or add it to soups and stews.
