About Us

Selam Foods is an authentic grower and seller of authentic teff and barley in the United States.

Teff, a tiny round grain that flourishes in East Africa, was not known to the American audience even a few decades ago.

When injera, made from teff, was missing from his dinner plate, Tesfa Drar brought teff seeds from his family farm in Eritrea, and planted them at the University of Minnesota where he was studying.

He found out that just because he was growing them in a very different country on the opposite side of the world, that didn’t stop the teff from thriving.

Mr. Drar was raising teff at his family farm in Eritrea from a very early age and he went on to plant multiple teff fields around the United States. Today, he runs a network of consumers that have fallen in love with this unique food that’s actually full of health benefits, too.

What you eat matters.

Our mission at Selam Foods is to keep society happy and healthy by suppling ancient super foods at a lower cost.

We are farmers here in the USA.

Our teff and barley are coming to you freshly milled, straight from our farms.

And we hope that you fall in love with it, just as much as we have.
