About Teff:


  • also known as miniature millet (botanical eragrostis tef)
  • as ancient grain, the teff plant was already cultivated in the old Egypt empire
  • Ehiopia has today the biggest teff culture worldwide and the teff consumption is widespread among Ehtiopia´s population
  • European farmers can licence teff for cultivation from the Ethiopian government taking care that the poor Ethiopian population gets a certain share  from the EU teff sales
  • the small teff grains have a particularly low glycemic index (GI) which means that the sugar from its carbohydrates are released step by step only into the human bodie´s blood cycle after eating

  • endurance sports – the successful African marathon runners use teff
  • also diabetics profit from the described effect of delayed sugar release in the blood cycle
  • gluten free grain alternative for wheat allergics and people suffering from celiac disease
