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
interesting for:
- 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
- teff flour is excellently suitable for breads with better results in colour, texture and taste than other gluten free grains used as a wheat flur substitute in gluten free bakery
