Introducing Our Teff
Teff is a naturally grown gluten-free grain. Our Teff grain is non-gmo certified and can be consumed as grain or as flour.
We mill our Teff grain in the age-old manner with stone mills to produce a finest Teff flour (brown, dark brown, ivory or white).
Teff is well known for its properties as being a super ancient grain. Despite Teff being the smallest grain in the world, it packs a punch with multiple high nutrients than any other normal sized grain. Teff is also a fabulous source of fiber.
The Teff Flour is mainly used for the making of traditional Injera Bread, however, it is also versatile and can be used in many other ways such a making a breakfast porridge or used in any other gluten-free recipe.
