Breakfast Teff  
*Makes 2 cups*

Teff, a staple grain in northern Africa for centuries, has recently become available in the United States. Perhaps the tiniest grain in the world, teff is extremely nutritious and makes a delicious breakfast cereal. Ask for teff at your favorite natural food store or order it directly from the grower.

1/2 cup teff  
1-1/2 cups water  
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)  
fortified soymilk or rice milk for serving

Combine teff and water in a saucepan. Add salt if desired and stir to mix. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 15 minutes. Serve with fortified soymilk or rice milk.
