About Sorghum porridge

Sorghum porridge is a wholesome dish made from sorghum flour, a gluten-free ancient grain rich in nutrients and widely enjoyed across African, Indian, and Southern American cuisines. Traditionally prepared by boiling the flour with water or milk, this porridge has a hearty, slightly nutty flavor and a creamy texture. Sorghum is packed with fiber, which aids digestion, and is a great source of plant-based protein, iron, and antioxidants that support heart health and reduce inflammation. Its low glycemic index makes it a good option for managing blood sugar levels. Additionally, sorghum is free from refined sugars and can be customized with fruits, nuts, or honey for added sweetness and nutrition. However, toppings like excess sugar or full-fat dairy might increase calorie content, so balance is key. Sorghum porridge is a nutrient-dense and versatile meal suitable for breakfast or any time of day.
