[...] A lot of these ingredients are probably already in your fridge (think salata minus the karya). Drink regularly and everyone will think you’ve just returned from vacation in Awassa or Bahir Dar! —- Related: Shiro, The Sure Thing: Why It’s Good For You [...]

Aletcha shero [can] be used as a gravy for a Thanksgiving turkey. Really good.

Hello there,

Just wanted to say thanks for featuring my picture of shiro! It is one of my favorite foods, such a comforting meal on a cold Fall or Winter night.

Dr. Asqual Getaneh:

First of all, thank you for a great article! And happy holidays to you! I have one injera health related question. Do you know of any scientific reasons why it is so difficult to make gluten-free injera in US? Gluten-free injera means 100% teff, nothing else can’t be mixed with it. Ten percent of the American population requires gluten-free diet for health reasons. But here, in most places, they give you all sorts of excuses why it can’t be made and the reasons range from the water is different here than in Ethiopia to the teff grown in Kansas is different than the one from Ethiopia (I would I agree with that). But, is there a way to make 100% gluten free injera?

Thank you.

I am always asked by people who know Ethiopians,why most probably all Ethiopians are thin healthy looking with spider fingers?.What do you eat?.Whether I am wrong or not I tell them,we eat always cooked food not fried foods and in most households two days every week(WEN & Fri) we are off limit from Diary & Meat product.Thanks.

Muzlitach,

Hold your horses there buddy. You forgot tire siga (the real version of kitfo). That can’t be too cool. That’s scary to little kids. for real tho

A lot of Ethios know Teff has iron. They don’t know Teff is full of the described wonderful substances, iron, calcium, protien, vitamines. Eating Teff is like taking your multi-vitamines.

There is no question this report is right on. What we have as Ethiopians is nothing short of Golden. We just don’t know it. Unfortunately the world has been a victim of western marketing phsycoholgy. We were raised to look westward from childhood, beginning learning how to sign our names in English to wearing belbottms as youngsters and now eating salads as sign of health conciousness. Just be Ethiopian and you will be cool, because Ethiopian is cool.

Dr. Asqual, thank you for explaining the benefits of shiro. For some ignorant reason we are programed to think that shiro is only for poor people. Maybe that explains why the rich are unhealthy

Thank you Dr Getaneh,

Shiro is probably the best Ethiopian food there is, but most folks look down on it and prefer raw kitfo.
