What it is

Teff is a tiny, ancient grain native to Ethiopia. Whole-grain teff flour is made by grinding the entire teff grain, including the bran and germ. It has a mild, nutty flavor and is a good source of fiber and nutrients.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use whole-grain teff flour as a nutritious alternative to wheat flour in baked goods. Its fine texture and mild flavor make it suitable for breads, muffins, pancakes, and cookies. It can also be used as a thickener in sauces and soups.

Health notes

Whole-grain teff flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a good source of dietary fiber, iron, and calcium. JECFA has evaluated teff and determined it is safe for consumption. Evidence suggests that whole grains, like teff, are part of a healthy diet that may help reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

Allergen info

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