Injera

Cultural Context

Injera is a staple of Ethiopian cuisine, traditionally made from teff flour, a gluten-free grain. It serves as both a plate and a utensil, with various stews served on top, allowing diners to tear off pieces to scoop up the food. This communal style of eating fosters togetherness and is central to Ethiopian culture. Today, injera is enjoyed globally, often paired with diverse dishes beyond its traditional roots.
