About Sorghum bran, white, unenriched, dry, raw
Sorghum bran is the nutrient-dense outer layer of the sorghum grain, separated during milling and prized as a concentrated source of fiber and antioxidants. Sorghum is an ancient, drought-hardy cereal grass that feeds much of the world, and its bran is especially rich in dietary fiber along with antioxidant plant compounds, including tannins and other polyphenols in the darker varieties that rank among the highest of any grain.
Naturally gluten-free, sorghum bran is a useful ingredient for people avoiding wheat, and it can be stirred into baked goods, breads, muffins, hot cereals, and smoothies to boost fiber and add a mild, earthy flavor and a little texture. It also supplies some plant protein and minerals such as iron and phosphorus. Because bran contains natural oils that can eventually turn, freshness matters. Add it gradually to recipes, since a little goes a long way and too much can make baked goods dense.
Store sorghum bran airtight in a cool, dry place, or refrigerate or freeze it to keep it fresh longer.
