The listing, Ethiopian Teff Seeds -100- Gluten Free, Protein, Calcium & Iron Rich has ended.

Teff is the smallest grain in the world —about the size of a poppy seed. Teff grows predominantly in Ethiopia and Eritrea, and thrives even in difficult climates. The grain has a very mild, nutty flavor and has an excellent balance of amino acids, high in protein, calcium, and iron. It can also be ground into flour to make an excellent gluten-free flour alternative, and can be used to make pie crusts, cookies, breads, and an assortment of other baked goods. Teff can also be eaten whole and steamed, boiled, or baked as a side dish or a main course.

Teff’s history traces back thousands of years, as a reliable support to our early ancestors’ survival. Attracted to its delicious taste, gluten-free composition, and versatility, more consumers are committing to teff.

Teff leads all the grains – by a wide margin – in its calcium content, with a cup of cooked teff offering 123mg, about the same amount of calcium as in a half-cup of cooked spinach.
It’s an excellent source of vitamin C—a nutrient not commonly found in grains—and also a good source of iron.

Teff is high in resistant starch, a newly-discovered type of dietary fiber that can benefit blood sugar management, weight control, and colon health. It’s estimated that 20-40% of the carbohydrates in teff are resistant starches.

A gluten-free grain with a mild flavor, teff is a healthy and versatile ingredient for many gluten-free products.
