Sorghum Flour

Sorghum Flour is a pale, gluten-free flour ground from the grain sorghum and commonly used in African, Indian and gluten‑free baking and flatbreads. It is prized for its mild, slightly sweet flavour and good baking performance when blended with other flours. Nutritionally, Sorghum Flour supplies a modest amount of dietary fibre (6.7g per 100g) and plant protein, and it contributes minerals such as magnesium and manganese that are typical of whole grains. It is relatively low in fat and free of sodium when plain. From a health perspective, sorghum flour is a useful gluten‑free whole‑grain option that supports fibre intake and provides some beneficial plant compounds; it also has moderate protein quality compared with animal proteins, and contains modest amounts of antioxidant polyphenols.
