About Teff flour

Teff flour is a versatile, gluten-free flour made from teff, an ancient grain native to Ethiopia and a staple in its traditional cuisine. Rich in nutrients, teff flour is packed with fiber, iron, calcium, and essential amino acids, making it a nutritious choice for baking and cooking. It contains resistant starch, a type of carbohydrate that supports gut health and helps regulate blood sugar. Teff’s mild, nutty flavor works well in breads, pancakes, and even cookies. It’s particularly famous for being the key ingredient in injera, the traditional Ethiopian sourdough flatbread. Teff flour is naturally gluten-free, making it ideal for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. While nutrient-dense, it can be calorie-rich, so portion control is important. Its slow-digesting properties also promote sustained energy, making it a popular choice for athletes and health-conscious individuals alike.
