A handful of African grains are well suited to difficult planting conditions. Millet, sorghum & teff are delicious, nutritious and quick to grow, even after natural disasters. Pearl millet can grow in both waterlogged and barren soil. Teff is an ancient grain used in injera bread that provides up to two-thirds of Ethiopia’s protein and dietary fiber.
