‘Journey back in time with this ancient Ethiopian grain, high in protein, fibre and resistant starch to create an alluring twist on a beloved breakfast classic. The mild, nutty flavour paired with fresh seasonal berries and ricotta cream make this breakfast delight a perfect treat for the summer holidays’ – Sonya.
