Naturally gluten-free

Gluten is a protein group found in wheat and other grains that provides dough its elasticity. Some people, however, are unable to consume gluten owing to celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder.

Celiac disease is characterized by your immune system attacking the lining of your small intestine. This can cause anemia, weight loss, diarrhea, constipation, tiredness, and bloating by impairing nutritional absorption. Furthermore, some people who do not have celiac disease may find gluten difficult to digest and would like to avoid it. Teff flour is a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour since it is naturally gluten-free.
