Mefita as an organisation

The teff specialists

Mefita are the Dutch specialists in teff. This primeval grain (which originates from Ethiopia) possesses a number of powerful properties that ensure for the supply of long-term energy. Consequently, it is only logical that a continually increasing number of food manufacturers are discovering the enormous number of opportunities offered by teff, and succeeding in expanding their markets. This long-term provision of energy is, for example, extremely interesting for everyone needing to make great physical effort, such as sporters, but also people in arduous occupations and even growing children. In addition, since fibre-rich teff prolongs feelings of satiation it also delays hunger pangs, which offers interesting opportunities for its use as part of a slimming diet. Moreover, since teff is gluten-free it is suitable, without any reservation whatsoever, for everyone - including people with gluten intolerance (celiac disease).

Wealth of knowledge about grinding and flour

Mefita, as a member of the Koopmans Koninklijke Meelfabrieken, has access to a wealth of knowledge about grinding and flour - valuable knowledge, since it enables Mefita to adopt an innovative approach to processing teff and, ultimately, offer the baking industry new opportunities for its use as an ingredient or decoration including teff in flour, flake, roller-dried, puffed and extruded form. Moreover, Mefita is hard at work on the expansion of its product range to include other speciality grains. Self-evidently, the Mefita team offers comprehensive baking-technology support to the company's customers.
