Go for Goodness

We're committed to making snacks that you can count on. Our snacks are packed with goodness to keep you going now and for the long-term.

What we're made of

Teffies are made with nourishing, whole food ingredients like teff, flaxseeds, and dates. Simple ingredients, baked with care.

Our snacks are naturally delicious so we don't need to use any artificial or ultra-processed ingredients. Teffies don't contain high fructose syrups, seed oils, GMO ingredients, emuslifiers, artificial sweeteners, colours, or flavours.

Each of our snacks blends natural goodness with sustainability and inclusivity, making purposeful choices available to everyone.

What's teff?

Teff is our main ingredient and a gluten-free nutrient powerhouse. It's the smallest grain in the world and an ancient grain that originates in Ethiopia and Eritrea. It's packed with vitamins and minerals, gut-healthy fibre, and slow-release energy. Some of the best athletes in history swear by teff and it's been eaten as a flatbread called injera for centuries.

Teff with Dr Scott

Nutritionist-approved

We work with Nutritionist, Dr Scott Robinson. Dr Scott works with lots of top athletes to help them reach their peak performance through nutrition.

He's tested our snacks with his clients and seen some incredible results. Here's what he said:

"When Teffies are embedded as a part of their routine, our athletes report more sustained energy, improved satiety* and fewer cravings throughout the day; especially late at night."

*Satiety means that feeling of fullness you get after eating.

Fuelling the Future

Did you know 75% of the world’s food comes from just 12 crops and 5 animal sources? With changing climates, that makes us vulnerable to food shortages. Teff is not only a very healthy grain, it’s also a resilient crop. It uses 10 times less water than wheat to grow and can grow in poor soils. Adding teff to our diets helps add diversity to our food supply. Our teff is responsibly sourced from farmers outside of Ethiopia and Eritrea to avoid causing political volitility and price fluctuations.

Harvest of Champions

Teff is often referred to as the "runner's superfood", given how many Ethiopian long-distance runners attribute their success to this tiny grain. Here’s why it’s a trusted fuel for athletes:

  • High in iron. Iron is essential for oxygen transport and energy production. It also supports metabolism, normal cellular functioning, and the synthesis of some hormones.
  • High in prebiotic starch. 20-40% of the starch in teff is resistant starch which feeds good bacteria in the gut. 
  • Complex carbohydrate. Teff is a whole grain and packed with slow-release carbohydrates for gradual and sustained energy release. 
  • Nutrient-dense. Teff’s rich nutrient profile makes it a great recovery fuel to support a 24-hour recovery.
