Vegetarian Teff Snack Sausage

This tiny size, in fact, makes teff ideally suited to semi-nomadic life in areas of Ethiopia and Eritrea where it has long thrived. Since teff’s bran and germ make up a large percentage of the tiny grain and it’s too small to process, teff is always eaten in its whole form.
