Ⅱ.阅读理解

Now, an ancient grain from Ethiopia, teff, is being sold in supermarkets in America. Teff has been an important part of the Ethiopian diet for thousands of years. Teff is known for its small grain. It is mainly used to make flour.

Wayne Carlson learned about teff while doing public health work in Africa in the mid-1970s. “I came to know teff because I was eating it all the time and hosted

by teff farmers.” In the late 70s, Carlson returned to his home state Idaho in the US, married and settled in Southwest Idaho. Then he came up with an idea.

Wayne and his wife Elisabeth are not farmers, nor do they want to be. So they convinced actual farmers in Idaho, Oregon and Nevada to grow teff. The Carlsons milled (磨粉) it themselves. However, until last year there was not a single Ethiopian restaurant or bakery in the entire state of Idaho for them to sell the milled flour to. “The way we started was that Wayne went through the Washington, D．C., and looked for the names that were Ethiopian in the telephone book.”

Over time, the Teff Company has grown out four different mills. The Carlsons say the teff flour coming off the mill could end up in a good natural foods store or commercial bakery. “Sales of alternatives (替代品) to modern wheat (小麦) are growing quickly each year，” says an industry trade group.

Rich Roseberg is a food researcher at Oregon State University. He says teff production has exploded over the past decade in the US. He also says most teff grown in the US is fed to farm animals. In Idaho, however, where the Carlsons are based, Roseberg believes more of the teff production is for human food. Teff contains lots of calcium, iron, and protein. Roseberg praises Wayne Carlson for being ahead of his time.
