The average crude protein content of teff is in the range of 8 to 11 percent.

Teff's amino acid composition is well-balanced. A relatively high concentration of lysine, rare among cereals, is found in teff. It has an excellent balance of amino acid composition (including all 8 essential amino acids for human).

Teff seeds appear to be similar to wheat in food value; however, the National Research Council of USA suggested that teff seeds are actually more nutritious (National Research Council 1996) and contain generally higher amounts of the essential amino acids. Research findings indicated that teff has an excellent balance among the essential amino acids that makes it comparable to that of egg, except for its somewhat relatively low lysine and isoleucine contents.
