Teff
Usually introduced around 6 months
How to serve by age
6-9 months
Make teff porridge two ways: cooled and sticky to roll into a soft ball, and in a bowl for baby to scoop with hands.
Soft sticky balls or scoopable porridge. Cooking with coconut milk improves stickiness.
9-12 months
Use teff to make fritters, injera, pancakes, or patties broken into bite-sized pieces. Continue offering teff porridge too.
Bite-sized pieces about an adult knuckle wide. Soft injera tears easily.
12-18 months
Use teff as a base for sauces, stews, and stir-fries. Make injera or teff bread and show how to dip and bite.
Soft injera or pancake torn into strips. Sauces and stews alongside.
