The Teff Company takes the phrase "you are what you eat" literally. That is why we supply teff: the staple food of some of the best runners in the world. It is not a coincidence that these athletes often come from Ethiopia,
the land where teff is a significant portion of the daily diet.

Of the 56 medals available in major athletics championships from 2000 to 2003 (Olympic Games and IAAF World Championships) at marathon, 10,000 meter and 5,000 meter distances, 26 were won by athletes from Ethiopia. Gezahegne Abera drives this phenomenon. The Sydney Olympic Champion in the marathon,
Abera has won major marathons on almost every continent (i.e., London 2003, Fukuoka 1999-2001-2002, 2001 World Championships in Canada) and has a personal best time of 2:07:54. With these enormous victories and depth of experience, Abera is poised to take gold in Athens this year. Gezahegne Abera, like other Ethiopian runners, knows Maskal Teff is the best food for performance. This is why he insists on eating it wherever he runs- Japan, North America or Australia, and not just Ethiopia.
