Easy Teff Recipes

Named the ingredient of 2018, Teff the seed of Lovegrass is the smallest and most powerful grain in the world. Naturally gluten-free, its high fibre and high protein content isn't the only attractive feature about this life-changing grain. It also directly competes with mineral and vitamin supplements as just 100g accounts for approximately 50% your recommended daily intake of minerals and vitamins like iron, magnesium, zinc, potassium and calcium.

So as to make these minerals and vitamins more readily bioavailable, we like to soak our teff as much as possible.

If you're in poor gut health, if your energy levels are low, if your immunity could do with a boost or you simply work out a lot and you want to increase your endurance levels, the recipes below will be hugely beneficial to you and the maintenance of your gut and recovery periods.
