A 100g SERVING OF TEFF PROVIDES YOUR RECOMMENDED DIETARY INTAKE OF:

  • 22% IRON - helps in producing energy and maintaining immune function

  • 52% MAGNESIUM - an essential mineral used by your nerves and almost every tissue in your body

  • 100% MANGANESE - an essential element that contributes to bone formation and energy metabolism

  • 22% PROTEIN - a macronutrient that helps your cells grow, repair and build strong muscles

  • 22% CALCIUM - Contains the highest amount of any grain. Your body needs calcium to build and maintain strong bones

  • 30% DIETARY FIBRE - which helps keep your gut happy and healthy and reduces your risk of cardiovascular disease
