FAQ

Questions, answered.

A few honest answers about teff, feeding, safety, and how Toto Melts will be made. Written plainly, with nothing to hide.

The grain & what's inside

Why teff?

Teff is a tiny grain that has nourished the highlands of Ethiopia for thousands of years. It is known for naturally occurring iron, calcium, fiber, and plant protein, and it is naturally gluten-free.

What's actually in it?

The recipes are built around Ethiopian teff and tapioca, with real fruit in our fruit varieties. Teff Original keeps it to the grain. Final ingredient statements will be confirmed before launch.

Is it gluten-free?

Teff is naturally gluten-free, and Toto Melts contain no wheat. Final allergen and manufacturing details will be confirmed on the pouch ahead of launch.

Feeding your little one

What age is Toto Melts designed for?

Toto Melts are designed for early eaters from around six months, once your little one is ready for solids. Always offer new foods with supervision, and follow your pediatrician's guidance on introducing them.

How do the melts work?

Each one is designed to soften and melt with moisture, made for new eaters and little hands still learning to self-feed.

How should I serve and store them?

Offer in a calm, seated setting with supervision. Full preparation and storage guidance will be printed on the final pouch.

Safety & quality

How do you keep it safe?

Little ones deserve the highest standards. We're committed to third-party testing for heavy metals and contaminants, and to sharing results as we approach launch. Complete allergen and nutrition details will be confirmed on the pouch before launch.

Where and how is it made?

The core formula direction was developed with third-party food commercialization support, and the product and process were tested through university pilot work. We are now confirming the right manufacturing partner — one with strong food-safety systems and experience with snacks for little ones. Final facility and allergen details will be printed on the pouch ahead of launch.

How should I serve them safely?

Each one is designed to soften and melt with moisture. Always offer in a calm, seated setting with supervision, from around six months, and follow your pediatrician's guidance on introducing new foods.

The brand

Who makes Toto Melts?

Toto Melts is crafted by EthioRoot Naturals and founded by Daniel Agegnehu, who grew up in the Ethiopian highlands where teff has fed families for generations.

How far along is Toto Melts?

Toto Melts has moved beyond concept stage. It began as a founder-led product rooted in Ethiopian teff and designed for early self-feeding. The core formula direction was developed with third-party food commercialization support, and university pilot work has been completed. We are now preparing for process transfer, commercial equipment confirmation, final testing, and first production with the right manufacturing partner.
