Blonk Quality Ingredients – Organic Teff Grain White

80,002.950,00 Excl. VAT

In September 2022 an EU regulation on tropanic alkaloids (TA) in foodstuffs has gone into force. Teff is not mentioned in this regulation but all EU Health Authorities consider that this regulation affects teff as well. In fact teff is the cereal that was most recalled due to this regulation on TA in the past year. The TA contamination is by a weed called Datura stramonium that grows in all teff fields worldwide including Africa, USA and Europe. Chemical or biological control is possible but never 100%. For this reason we have invested in post harvest cleaning possibilities and we are still investing more as we speak. The harvest of the new crop will start in August and we expect that we will remain far under the norm suggested by the FAO / WHO Codex Alimentarius of 90 ppb. The EU norm of 5 ppb is unrealistic low according to us and there are no laboratories that can guarantee these low measurements. They claim 50% uncertainty which makes the supply of teff in the EU very risky for us for the time being.

Blonk organic teff is grown in Spain and is 100% traceable from farm to table. Teff grain can be milled, extruded, puffed or used straight away in a recipe or as decoration in bakery.

Description

Blonk organic teff is grown in Spain and is 100% traceable from farm to table. The teff is grown by carefully selected farmers under supervision of our own agronomists who control as well the absence of heavy metals and residues in the soil and the water for irrigation. We harvest the teff when it has reached the perfect ripeness. It is directly transported to our warehouse undergoing a precleaning and where it is confirmed gluten free before it enters into our premises. All farmer lots are kept separate in our controlled storage until they are blended for different applications and the specifications agreed with our customers. Teff grain can be milled, extruded, puffed or used straight away in a recipe or as decoration in bakery.
