About Sorghum

Sorghum is a nutrient-rich grain native to Africa and widely used in cuisines across Asia, the Americas, and beyond. It has a nutty flavor and versatile texture, making it ideal for porridge, flatbreads, and even gluten-free baking. Packed with complex carbohydrates, fiber, and protein, sorghum is a gluten-free grain that supports digestive health and sustained energy. It’s also a good source of essential nutrients like iron, magnesium, and B vitamins. Sorghum contains antioxidants that can contribute to heart health and combat oxidative stress. With a low glycemic index, it’s a smart choice for managing blood sugar levels. While sorghum is naturally healthy, pairing it with nutrient-dense ingredients further enhances its benefits. Whole-grain and minimally processed varieties are the best options for maximizing its nutritional profile. Versatile and wholesome, sorghum is gaining popularity among health-conscious eaters globally.
