Description
Ivory teff flour is a finely milled wholegrain flour made from ivory teff, one of the world’s smallest ancient grains. Traditionally grown in Ethiopia and now successfully cultivated in Australia, ivory teff offers a mild, slightly sweet, nutty flavour that works well in both sweet and savoury recipes.
Unlike heavily refined flours, teff flour contains the entire grain, helping retain its naturally occurring fibre, protein, vitamins, and minerals. Its light colour and subtle flavour make it an excellent choice for home bakers looking to diversify the grains they use in everyday cooking.
Why Choose Ivory Teff Flour?
Ivory teff flour is valued for its versatility and naturally occurring nutrients. It can be used on its own in some recipes or blended with other flours to improve texture and flavour.
