Fermented flatbread from Ethiopia and Eritrea
Injera, also known as taita, is a sour fermented pancake-like flatbread with a slightly spongy texture, traditionally made of teff flour. In Ethiopia and Eritrea, injera is a staple. Injera is central to the dining process in Amhara society, like bread or rice elsewhere, and is usually stored in the mesob.

“Principal component analysis (PCA) of sensory data associated fresh injera from sorghum cultivars 3443‐2‐op, 76TI #23, and PGRC/E #69349 of varying endosperm texture, with positive injera texture attributes of softness, rollability, and fluffiness.”

“Effects of cultivar on injera quality were studied using 12 Ethiopian sorghum cultivars of varying kernel characteristics.”

“The improvement brought about by compositing with tef seemed to be due to inherent differences between tef and sorghum starch granules and an increase in the water solubility index of the flour.”
inherent differences between tef and sorghum starch granules → improves → injera-making quality
“Both decortication and compositing improved sorghum injera quality. Concerning decortication, mechanical abrasion was found to be more effective than hand pounding because acceptable injera was obtained with lower milling loss. Good quality injera was produced at an extraction rate of 540 g kg−1 for tannin-containing and 830 g kg−1 for tannin-free sorghum.”

“With compositing, good quality injera was produced with a 50:50 (w/w) composite of whole tannin-containing sorghum and tef.”
