About Organic Teff Grains Vegan,
Teff leads all the grains - by a wide margin - in its calcium content, with a cup of cooked teff offering 123 mg, about the same amount of calcium as in a half-cup of cooked spinach. It's also an excellent source of vitamin C, a nutrient not commonly found in grains.
Teff is, however, high in resistant starch, a newly-discovered type of dietary fibre that can benefit blood-sugar management, weight control, and colon health. It's estimated that 20-40% of the carbohydrates in teff are resistant starches. A Gluten Free grain with a mild flavour, teff is a healthy and versatile ingredient for many Gluten Free products.
Since teff's bran and germ make up a large percentage of the tiny grain, and it's too small to process, teff is always eaten in its whole form. It's been estimated that Ethiopians get about two-thirds of their dietary protein from teff. Many of Ethiopia's famed long-distance runners attribute their energy and health to teff.
