Teff is the latest &#8220;superfood&#8221; to hit American food shelves and thanks to its nutrition profile, it has caught the attention of one health-conscious group in particular: runners.<\/p> <figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/images-prod.healthline.com\/hlcmsresource\/images\/AN_images\/amaranth-on-spoon-1296x728.jpg?w=1155&amp;h=1528\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure> <p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-2\">Contrariamente a lo que los estadounidenses podr\u00edan pensar, teff no es nuevo. Ha sido un alimento b\u00e1sico durante siglos en Etiop\u00eda, donde a menudo se convierte en ese delicioso pan plano de masa madre llamado injera, que es com\u00fan en los restaurantes et\u00edopes. Tambi\u00e9n resulta ser el componente principal de las dietas de muchos de la \u00e9lite del running de Etiop\u00eda, incluyendo Haile Gebrselassie, poseedor del r\u00e9cord mundial de marat\u00f3n; Kenenisa Bekele, poseedora del r\u00e9cord mundial de 10.000 metros; y Tirunesh Dibaba, poseedor del r\u00e9cord mundial de 5.000 metros al aire libre.<\/p> <p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-4\">Here&#8217;s what runner-chef Elyse Kopecky and four-time Olympic runner Shalane Flanagan had to say about teff in the cookbook they co-authored, &#8220;Run Fast Eat Slow: Nourishing Recipes for Athletes.&#8221;<\/p> <p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-6\">&#8220;We snooped around to see what Shalane&#8217;s competition eats and discovered the nutritional powerhouse that is teff. An ancient East African cereal grass, teff has been a staple of Ethiopian cuisine for thousands of years. With all of the running prowess coming out of Ethiopia, we couldn&#8217;t help but explore the magic of this tiny grain.&#8221;<\/p> <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-8\">Grano diminuto, nutrici\u00f3n grande<\/h2> <figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.treehugger.com\/thmb\/E2Qo8q3_f9HO-pcRWVxzMf-v4gU=\/768x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/__opt__aboutcom__coeus__resources__content_migration__mnn__images__2017__06__teff-105408052bc242409f8c50b776ff6bad.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption>It doesn&#8217;t look like much, but each grain in this bowl is packed with nutrition.\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure> <p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-9\">\u00bfQu\u00e9 hace que el teff sea una potencia nutricional? Este grano similar a la semilla de amapola es alto en prote\u00ednas, fibra, calcio, magnesio, hierro, zinc y vitamina B6. Contiene altos niveles de lisina, el amino\u00e1cido que nuestros cuerpos utilizan para construir y mantener el tejido muscular. Es libre de gluten y f\u00e1cilmente digerible, por lo que es bueno para las personas que tienen enfermedad cel\u00edaca u otras afecciones digestivas. Y tiene un \u00edndice gluc\u00e9mico bajo, por lo que es una buena opci\u00f3n para los diab\u00e9ticos u otras personas que necesitan regular estrechamente sus niveles de az\u00facar en la sangre.<\/p> <p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-11\">Entonces, s\u00ed, el teff tiene mucho a su favor, y no est\u00e1 de m\u00e1s que sepa muy bien y se pueda usar en una amplia variedad de platos dulces y salados.<\/p> <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-13\">Aciertos y errores<\/h2> <p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-14\">Hab\u00eda escuchado mucho sobre el teff dentro de mi multitud de corredores y decid\u00ed intentarlo. Hice gachas de teff, panqueques de teff y galletas de mantequilla de man\u00ed teff y recib\u00ed cr\u00edticas mixtas de mi familia. A mi hija mayor y a m\u00ed nos encant\u00f3 la papilla de teff. Su sabor \u00fanico, dulce y a nuez rompi\u00f3 la monoton\u00eda de mi avena habitual de la ma\u00f1ana. Mi hija menor no estaba impresionada con los panqueques de teff, consider\u00e1ndolos un mal reemplazo para la variedad blanca esponjosa. Pero le encantaron las galletas teff (que no son m\u00e1s que teff, mantequilla de man\u00ed, jarabe de arce y aceite de coco), as\u00ed que eso es una gran victoria. \u00bfHacer que mi preadolescente coma una galleta cargada de prote\u00ednas, calcio, vitaminas y hierro y la considere postre? Definitivamente har\u00e9 m\u00e1s de esos.<\/p> <p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-16\">Pero la gran pregunta es, \u00bftodo este teff me ha hecho un mejor corredor? He estado comiendo teff semi-regularmente durante aproximadamente dos semanas, y dir\u00e9 que me siento un poco m\u00e1s fuerte cuando corro. Tal vez sea psicol\u00f3gico, o tal vez sea el hierro, un nutriente del que a menudo no obtengo lo suficiente. Teff tambi\u00e9n me deja sinti\u00e9ndome m\u00e1s lleno por un per\u00edodo m\u00e1s largo que mi taz\u00f3n tradicional de avena.<\/p> <p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-18\">\u00bfTeff me convirti\u00f3 m\u00e1gicamente en la pr\u00f3xima Shalane Flanagan? No. Pero le dio a mi dieta un impulso nutricional y me present\u00f3 algunas recetas nuevas y geniales.<\/p> <p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-20\">\u00bfAlguien por favor pasar\u00e1 las galletas (teff)?<\/p> <figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/images\/2016\/08\/15\/well\/well_teff2\/well_teff2-facebookJumbo.jpg\"
