WEATHER ALERT
BERHAN GRAINS
*************************
Berhan Grains' new specialty teff grain processing and stone flour milling facility seeks to supply the finest teff throughout North America.
Teff is an ancient gluten-free super grain that is jam-packed with nutritional benefits. Discovered over 10,000 years ago in the Ethiopian highlands, the smallest grain in the world remains a superfood titan. Even today, Ethiopia’s famous long-distance athletes credit their continuous world record-breaking success to teff.
Rich in dietary fibre, protein and containing a host of vitamins and minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc and more, it’s easy to see why teff is quickly gaining popularity around the world.
Ermeyes and his wife, Beteleham, founders of Berhan Grains Inc., are both Ethiopian immigrants that found it very difficult to source quality and safe teff in Toronto. During their vacations to Ethiopia, they would, like most Ethiopian families, bring back suitcases full of teff, keeping a secret stash to share with only their closest friends and family.
With the lack of quality in North American and European grown teff, and with the increasing dangers of buying teff from many
local merchants, some of whom have been caught mixing teff flour with cheap wheat flour and even sawdust, a reliable and trusted quality teff supplier was desperately needed.
Berhan Grains specializes in and is a dedicated supplier of only the finest teff sourced exclusively from Africa, supporting trade not aid by paying fair market prices and supporting local farmers and economies.
Berhan Grains new dedicated gluten-free facility specializes in teff grain processing and has custom cold stone flour milling equipment which gently grind teff into flour at much lower temperatures, retaining all the naturally occurring nutrients.
“Barrie really stood out during our search for a city to invest in, being close to key markets and its infrastructure network that easily allows us to ship our teff throughout North America. We look forward to meeting the demand for teff from our new location,” said Ermeyes Minalu, CEO.
Berhan Teff is milled fresh, whole grain, with no additives or preservatives and is pre-sifted. Berhan Teff flours are extremely versatile, with a fine and velvety texture and a gentle slightly nutty toasted aroma with hints of cocoa. Being able to work in most recipes, it’s easy to incorporate teff into your diet.
