Import Ethiopian Brown Teff Flour — Buy in Bulk from Supplier in South Africa

Ethiopian brown teff flour from Mbatucam Pty Ltd. is a finely milled flour derived from the teff grain (Eragrostis tef), a small, gluten-free cereal native to the Ethiopian highlands. The flour retains the bran and germ, resulting in a dark brown color and high nutrient density. It has a natural moisture content of approximately 10-12%, consistent with standard grain flour specifications, and is milled to a particle size of 90-150 microns for optimal baking performance.

The flour is produced from brown teff varieties, which contain higher levels of iron and fiber than white or red variants. It is not chemically bleached or enriched. The protein content typically ranges from 11% to 14%, with a balanced amino acid profile including lysine, which is rare in other cereals. It is naturally low in phytic acid compared to other whole grain flours, improving mineral bioavailability.

This flour is primarily used by gluten-free bakeries, health food manufacturers, and specialty food producers creating breads, injera, porridges, and snacks. Buyers typically order in 10kg, 20kg, or 25kg multi-wall paper bags with inner polyethylene lining. Packaging is designed for stackability and moisture resistance. Trade terms are commonly FOB or CIF, with payment via T/T or L/C. Lead times vary by season and port congestion.
