Spelt & Teff

Spelt and Teff belong to a category known as ancient grains. Other ancient grains include einkorn, barley, sorghum, and farro.

*Spelt is a type of wheat and contains gluten, whereas Teff originates from an annual grass, meaning that it’s naturally gluten-free.

Spelt and Teff provide 10–11 grams of protein per cooked cup (250 grams), making them higher in protein than other ancient grains,

Both are excellent sources of various nutrients, including complex carbs, fiber, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and manganese. They also contain B vitamins, zinc, and selenium.

Spelt and Teff are versatile alternatives to other grains, such as wheat and rice, and they can be used in many recipes from baked goods to risotto.
