What it is

Organic sorghum flour is made from sorghum, a gluten-free grain that has been cultivated for thousands of years. Sorghum is a type of grass that grows in warm climates and is a staple food in parts of Africa and Asia. The grain is milled into a fine flour, which can be used in a variety of recipes.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic sorghum flour as a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour in baked goods like breads, cakes, and cookies. Its mild, slightly sweet flavor and ability to absorb moisture make it a versatile ingredient for pasta, crackers, and other processed foods.

Health notes

Organic sorghum flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of fiber, protein, and various micronutrients. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated sorghum, but no specific ADI was set. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical dietary intakes.

Allergen info

Sorghum is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. As it is a grain, it is naturally gluten-free.
