Dietitian’s tips
Try to cook with teff flour whenever possible. This little grain is rich in prebiotic fibre iron and calcium, essential nutrients for healthy brain, muscle, thyroid, and heart function.
You can replace the avocado with various dips and rotate the herbs. For example, you could try coriander and dill with crushed garlic.
