What science says
compound effect
“Teff, corn and 'amicho' (corm of enset) had the highest ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP). The FRAP and TPC of teff (1.8 mmol Trolox equivalence/100 g dry matter (DM) and 123.6 mg gallic acid equivalent/100 g DM, respectively) were over 4-fold larger than the lowest obtained from 'bulla' (dehydrated juice of pseudostem of enset).”

teff→has higher→ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP)
“Native to Ethiopia and often the sustenance for local small farmers, teff thrives in both moisture-stressed and waterlogged soil conditions, making it a dependable staple within and beyond its current centre of origin.”
teff→thrives in→both moisture-stressed and waterlogged soil conditions
“In addition to being highly nutritious, underutilised crops are resilient in natural and agricultural conditions, making them a suitable surrogate to the major crops.”
