The grain can be used by celiacs (thegluten in teff does not contain the a-gliadin-fraction that causes a reaction in those with celiac disease) and has a high concentration of different nutrients, a very high calcium content, and significant levels of the minerals phosphorus, magnesium, aluminum, iron, copper, zinc, boron and barium, and also of thiamin.[8] Teff is high in protein. It is considered to have an excellent amino acid composition, including all 8 essential amino acids for humans, and is higher in lysine than wheat or barley.[9][citation needed] Teff is high in carbohydrates and fiber.
Teff is also valued for its fine straw, which is traditionally mixed with mud for building purposes.
