MODEL RELEASED. Teff. Woman holding a handful of teff (Eragrostis tef), the staple crop of Ethiopa. It is grown for its reslience to diseases and pests and the grains are used to make injera, a type of pancake. Teff has particularly high levels of protein, calcium and iron. Another characteristic of teff is that it is gluten-free. This is making it an increasingly important substitute for wheat in the West. Photographed in Ethiopia

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the essence of Ethiopian agriculture and the power of a resilient crop called Teff. The image showcases a woman delicately holding a handful of Teff grains, which are vital to Ethiopia's food security. Teff is not just any ordinary grain; it possesses extraordinary qualities that make it an indispensable part of Ethiopian cuisine and an increasingly sought-after substitute for wheat in the West. Its remarkable resistance to diseases and pests allows farmers to rely on its consistent yield year after year. Beyond its resilience, Teff boasts exceptional nutritional value. Packed with high levels of protein, calcium, and iron, this tiny grain plays a crucial role in providing essential nutrients to those who consume it. Moreover, being gluten-free makes Teff an ideal choice for individuals with dietary restrictions or sensitivities. As we gaze at this photograph taken in Ethiopia's fertile lands, we cannot help but appreciate the significance of Teff as both a staple crop and a symbol of health and sustenance. It serves as a reminder that agricultural diversity is key to combating malnutrition while celebrating cultural heritage through traditional dishes like injera –a pancake made from Teff flour. This thought-provoking image captured by Science Photo Library encapsulates the profound impact that crops like Teff can have on our diets, health, and global food systems.
