When resistant starch reaches the colon, it feeds beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus. These microbes help maintain a balanced gut microbiome.

A healthy gut microbiome is associated with:

✔ Improved digestion
✔ Stronger immune function
✔ Reduced inflammation
✔ Better nutrient absorption

Butyrate, the short-chain fatty acid produced during fermentation, also helps maintain the health of the intestinal lining, which supports long-term digestive health.

 Stabilise Blood Sugar

Because resistant starch is digested slowly, it produces a lower glycemic response than refined carbohydrates. This means it may help prevent sharp blood sugar spikes.

Improve Insulin Sensitivity

Regular intake of resistant starch has been linked to improved insulin sensitivity, which may benefit people managing blood sugar levels.

Teff is particularly interesting because it combines resistant starch, fibre, protein, and essential minerals in one grain.

This combination makes it valuable for people looking to support:

• gut microbiome health
• sustained energy levels
• balanced blood sugar
• digestive wellness

Exceptional Nutrient Density

Teff isn’t just gluten‑free — it’s nutrient‑rich in ways many grains aren’t. Compared to staples like maize and sorghum, teff typically contains higher levels of iron, calcium, zinc, magnesium and B‑vitamins, which help support energy, immunity, and bone health.

• Iron: up to 7–9 mg per 100 g in some teff varieties
• Calcium: up to 150–180 mg per 100 g — similar to milk
• Vitamins B1 (thiamin), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), and E contribute to metabolism and antioxidant activity.
