Celiac-Safe Ethiopian Injera Dining

For those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, Ethiopian dining can feel like uncharted territory. The iconic injera—a spongy, sourdough flatbread central to Ethiopian meals—is traditionally made from teff flour, a naturally gluten-free grain. However, some restaurants blend teff with wheat flour, turning this staple into a hidden hazard. With MM Food's innovative app, gluten-free diners can confidently explore Ethiopian cuisine while safeguarding their health.
