What is teff?

A native of Ethiopia, Teff is the smallest and possibly the most ancient of all grains. A nutritional powerhouse, it is packed with vitamins, minerals, fibre, protein and prebiotics (which your gut will love).

Throughout Ethiopia each village grows its own unique variety of Teff seed – keeping a natural diversity unparalleled to any other crop in the world. A labour of love, it is still harvested using ox-plough, a tradition unchanged for thousands of years.

Lovegrass Ethiopia is on a mission to share the benefits and the uniqueness of Ethiopian Teff with the world and in so doing open a fair market and tell the story of the traditional farmer.
