Teff Unveiled: The Ancient Grain with Modern Superfood Benefits

Teff (Eragrostis tef) is an ancient cereal grass native to Ethiopia and Eritrea, where it has been a staple food crop for millions of people for thousands of years. Known for its mild, nutty flavor and rich nutritional profile, Teff has gained global recognition as a gluten-free superfood. The tiny seeds of Teff are packed with dietary fiber, protein, iron, magnesium, calcium, and other essential minerals, making it a powerhouse ingredient in modern diets.

Dating back over 3,000 years, Teff has a rich history and cultural significance. The name “teffa,” meaning ‘lost,’ reflects its small size. Despite its tiny nature, Teff has been a cornerstone of Ethiopian cuisine, most famously used to make injera, a traditional spongy flatbread. Today, it’s celebrated worldwide for its remarkable nutritional benefits.
