Teff Grains

详情

Teff (Eragrostis tef) is one of the worlds smallest yet most nutrient-dense grains, originating from the highlands of Ethiopia and Eritrea. Known as an ancient super grain, Teff has been cultivated for thousands of years and continues to be a staple food in East Africa, particularly in the preparation of injera, a traditional Ethiopian flatbread. Today, Teff is recognized globally as a highly nutritious, gluten-free alternative to conventional grains such as wheat, barley, and rye, making it ideal for the health-conscious consumer and those with dietary restrictions.

Our Teff grains are carefully sourced from reputable farms that practice sustainable agriculture, ensuring purity, freshness, and top nutritional quality. We offer both white and brown varieties, each with distinct flavors, textures, and applications. The grains are meticulously cleaned, graded, and packaged under hygienic conditions, making them suitable for human consumption, industrial processing, and food manufacturing.
