Teff - What's that?

Meet ‘Teff’, the smallest grain in the world. Native to East Africa, this larger-than-life ancient grain has likely aided in the development of the earliest human beings, where it still serves as a staple diet to millions today. It’s no wonder that Olympic long distance runners revealed this super food as the source of their health and energy, since it supplies the body with fast, slow and prebiotic energy.

An excellent source of protein containing all essential amino acids, teff delivers a unique combination of elements that are essential for growing children, training athletes, and the elderly. Teff is rich in calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium, phosphorus, thiamine, aluminum, copper and a dietary fiber that supports weight control and blood sugar management.

The most ancient of ancient grains, teff is all natural and has not been genetically or chemically modified, which means that the grain still remains unchanged after thousands of years. Since its size makes it impossible to refine, teff flour contains the most nutritious parts of any grain – the bran and germ. Its nutty taste complements everything from your morning porridge or pancakes to your evening soups or stir fry dishes as well as your bread, cookies, cakes and desserts. Plus, it’s GLUTEN-FREE.
