Organic Sorghum Flakes

Organic sorghum flakes are made from the whole grain of the sorghum plant, a cereal grain that has been cultivated for thousands of years. The grain is typically steamed, flaked, and then dried. Sorghum is a gluten-free grain, often grown in parts of Africa, Asia, and the United States.

Manufacturers add sorghum flakes to foods for their nutritional content and texture. They are often used as a whole-grain ingredient in breakfast cereals, granola bars, and baked goods like muffins and cookies. Their mild, slightly sweet flavor can also contribute to the overall taste profile of a product.

Sorghum is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of fiber, protein, and various micronutrients. While specific evaluations by JECFA or EFSA are not widely publicized for sorghum flakes, whole grains like sorghum are recognized for their potential health benefits, such as supporting digestive health. Evidence suggests whole grains may play a role in a balanced diet.
