What it is

Teff is a tiny, ancient grain native to northeastern Africa, primarily Ethiopia. It is one of the smallest grains in the world, resembling poppy seeds. Teff is typically consumed whole, either cooked into porridge or used as flour in baked goods and traditional breads.

Why it's used

Teff is used as a whole grain or flour in various food products, contributing a mild, nutty flavor and a slightly chewy texture. It is often found in baked goods like bread, cookies, and muffins, as well as in breakfast cereals, granola bars, and some savory dishes. Its nutritional profile makes it appealing for health-conscious consumers.

Health notes

Teff is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a good source of fiber, protein, and minerals like iron and calcium. JECFA has evaluated teff and did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified). Evidence suggests that consuming whole grains like teff as part of a balanced diet can contribute to overall health, but no specific health claims are approved by regulatory bodies.

Allergen info

Teff is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It is naturally gluten-free, making it suitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
