What is Teff?
Teff is an ancient grain native to Ethiopia — and one of the most nutritionally complete foods on Earth. The world's smallest grain, it punches far above its size with a profile no other grain can match.
Ethiopian distance runners have dominated long-distance racing for decades. Their fuel? Teff. Now TEFFLO brings this ancient powerhouse to modern kitchens and training plans — with zero mainstream U.S. brand presence, we own this space.

Fighting Iron Deficiency,
One Bowl at a Time
Iron deficiency is one of the most widespread nutrition gaps in the world — affecting menstruating women, pregnant women, endurance athletes, growing children, and anyone on a plant-forward diet. Low iron can mean fatigue, brain fog, and a body that struggles to keep up with daily demands.
Teff has one of the highest iron contents of any grain on Earth — and it's a heritage staple of Ethiopian distance runners, some of the most iron-efficient athletes in the world. Working TEFFLO into your daily routine is a simple, real-food way to help support healthy iron levels.
