Why teff
Meet the grain behind every Teff Melt.
Teff is a tiny ancient whole grain with deep Ethiopian roots. Around 3,000 seeds weigh a single gram, so it is always eaten whole, and it has been the grain behind injera and shared Ethiopian meals for thousands of years. Most American shoppers have never met it. That is exactly why Teff Melts exist.

These are reference values for the uncooked teff grain, not the Nutrition Facts for a 28 g pouch of Teff Melts. Teff also provides all nine essential amino acids; containing all nine does not by itself mean its protein quality is equal to other protein sources. Each flavor’s own Nutrition Facts panel is printed on the pouch and will be published here as it is finalized.
From my roots to yours
Why I brought teff home to America.
I grew up with teff in Ethiopia. It was part of everyday life: the food on our table, the meals we shared, and the feeling of home. I also grew up knowing teff as a nutritional powerhouse, a whole grain naturally rich in iron, calcium, protein, fiber, and all nine essential amino acids. These are nutrients parents care about as their children grow.
When I came to the U.S., I couldn’t find teff in the grocery stores where I shopped. I kept thinking about this remarkable grain, with its deep history and nourishment, and why so few families here had the chance to know it.
That thought became EthioRoot. I set out to bring teff to more American family tables in a simple, joyful form little ones can enjoy: Teff Melts.
Ethiopia gave me my roots. America gave me room to grow. Now I hope to share a little of home with your family.
