Teff seed and flour are an important source of amino acids.
Teff also helps to lose weight as it accelerates fat burning. If you are on a diet or watch your weight, you can prepare bread from teff flour and consume 1-2 slices of this bread in your meals.
Teff, which regulates blood circulation, is also rich in vitamin B6. Vitamin B6 helps regulate the amount of homocysteine the body produces.
Since homocysteine is known to cause heart diseases and inflammation, teff is also very useful for heart health.
