Is Teff Flour Gluten Free?
Yes, teff flour is naturally gluten-free. Teff is a small, ancient grain native to Ethiopia that does not contain gluten proteins, making it a safe option for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

Gluten-free: Ideal for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity
High in protein: Contains all essential amino acids, making it a complete protein source
Rich in fiber: Promotes digestive health and helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels
Excellent source of iron: Supports healthy blood cell production and helps prevent anemia
High in calcium: Supports bone health and muscle function
Good source of B vitamins: Aids in energy metabolism and nervous system function
Contains resistant starch: May help with weight management and improve insulin sensitivity
Rich in antioxidants: Helps protect cells from oxidative stress and inflammation
Low glycemic index: Helps regulate blood sugar levels, beneficial for diabetics
Provides magnesium: Important for muscle and nerve function, and bone health
Contains zinc: Supports immune function and wound healing
Offers manganese: Important for bone formation and metabolism
Naturally low in sodium: Beneficial for heart health and blood pressure management
Provides copper: Supports formation of red blood cells and maintains nerve cellsRemember that while teff flour offers these potential benefits, it should be consumed as part of a balanced diet for optimal health.
People with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity who are also sensitive to cross-reactivity: While Teff is gluten-free, some individuals may experience cross-reactivity due to similar protein structures.
Individuals with grain allergies: Though rare, some people may be allergic to Teff.
Those on a low-carbohydrate diet: Teff is high in carbohydrates and may not be suitable for strict low-carb diets.
People with digestive sensitivities: Some may find Teff difficult to digest, especially when first introducing it to their diet.
Individuals with iron overload disorders: Teff is high in iron, which could be problematic for those with conditions like hemochromatosis.
Those watching their calorie intake: Teff is relatively high in calories compared to some other flours.
People with phytic acid sensitivities: Teff contains phytic acid, which can interfere with mineral absorption in sensitive individuals.
Anyone with a known allergy or intolerance to Teff or other similar grains.It’s always advisable to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian before making significant changes to your diet, especially if you have existing health conditions or concerns.

Explore the Science and Benefits of Tolerase® G.
Relief from Gluten Sensitivity
In the fight against gluten, there is a unique supplement that stands out: Little Helpers anti-gluten pills with 100% Tolerase® G.
This specific enzyme, Tolerase® G, a patented endopeptidase specific for proline, was developed by Royal DSM and has been scientifically proven to be effective in breaking down gluten residues ( 1) . Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP), an enzyme closely related to Tolerase® G, can break down gluten so effectively that it barely reaches the duodenum, potentially eliminating gluten toxicity ( 2) ( 3 ) .
On this page we explain why we are so enthusiastic about this supplement, supported by scientific research.

What is Gluten?
Gluten is a group of proteins found primarily in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. These complex proteins give shape, strength, and texture to bread and other grain products. However, gluten is difficult to digest because it is rich in proline, a non-essential amino acid. This is why about 13% of the world’s population is sensitive to gluten in their diet (1).
How Tolerase® G Works
It is important to note that Tolerase G is designed to have optimal activity in the difficult conditions of the stomach. Its effectiveness on the digestion of gluten in the stomach and duodenum has been scientifically proven ( 1 ).
Studies have shown that a newly identified prolyl endoprotease derived from Aspergillus niger can effectively break down gluten proteins. This enzyme works optimally at a pH of 4–5, remains stable at pH 2, and is completely resistant to digestion by pepsin ( 2 ). Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP) accelerates the breakdown of gluten in the stomach so much that very little gluten reaches the duodenum ( 3 ). This suggests that co-administration of AN-PEP with a meal containing gluten could potentially eliminate gluten toxicity, allowing people to (occasionally) abandon their strict gluten-free diet ( 3 ).
