About Sorghum grain, white, pearled, unenriched, dry, raw
Sorghum is an ancient cereal grain and one of the most important crops in the world, a dietary staple across Africa and parts of Asia and a naturally gluten-free choice. The whole grain, sometimes sold as sorghum berries, has a mild, slightly sweet, earthy flavor and a pleasantly chewy bite when cooked, a little like wheat berries. It is rich in fiber, protein, B vitamins, iron, and antioxidants, and because it contains no gluten, it is a friendly grain for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
Remarkably versatile, sorghum can be simmered like rice for grain bowls and salads, popped like popcorn for a crunchy snack, milled into flour for gluten-free breads and injera-style flatbreads, or cooked slowly into porridge. A hardy, drought-tolerant plant that thrives where other grains fail, it is also grown as sweet sorghum and pressed into a dark, molasses-like syrup used across the American South.
Cook the whole grains in plenty of water until tender but still chewy, and store the dry grain in a sealed container in a cool, dry pantry.
