At a time when people want to invest in gut wellness and feel satiated when they eat, high-fiber snacks are in demand, and Teffie makes soft-baked, naturally sweet snacks with a unique blend of prebiotic plant fibres: teff, flaxseed, and chicory root.
Teff, the gluten-free grain native to the Horn of Africa, is packed with protein, fiber, iron, and calcium, and despite being nutritionally dense, teff remains largely unknown to North American snackers. As such, Teffie is tapping into a wide-open opportunity to produce healthy yet indulgent treats with this ancient ingredient packed with value for consumers today.
Teffies are gluten-free, plant-based and high in fiber, and offered in craveable varieties like Chocolate Date, Chocolate Orange and Cinnamon Sultana.
