Get Lost in Ethiopian Cuisine with This Instagram

One of the most criminally-underrated gastronomies on Earth has to be Ethiopian food. This East African country has one of the most rich and unique food cultures in the world and deserves much more attention and acclaim.

If you’re curious about Ethiopian gastronomy (or if you already love it!), you absolutely have to check out @eatethio on Instagram.

Helina, the food blogger that heads up this Instagram account as well as a blog about Ethiopian cuisine by the same name, grew up in Ethiopia and moved to China over 10 years ago.

Her love for her country’s cuisine never wavered, however, which inspired her to set up this account and her blog. She also runs a monthly “dining club” for Chinese citizens that are interested in getting to know and trying her country’s fabulous food.

Ethiopian food has a lot of components. One of its most popular items is injera bread, which is made from teff flour and has a light, spongy texture. Ethiopians tend to use this bread much like Europeans use traditional breads at meals.
