What it is
Pearled sorghum crisps are made from sorghum, a gluten-free grain grown in the U.S. The grain is pearled, meaning the outer bran layer is removed, and then processed into a crisp texture, often through puffing or extrusion. This results in a light, airy ingredient.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use pearled sorghum crisps for their crunchy texture and mild, slightly sweet flavor. They are commonly added to snack bars, granola, and breakfast cereals to provide a satisfying crispness and visual appeal. They can also be used as a base for crispy treats.
Health notes
Pearled sorghum crisps are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Sorghum is a whole grain and a source of fiber and nutrients. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated sorghum and its components. At typical consumption levels, it is considered safe and contributes to a balanced diet.
Allergen info
Pearled sorghum crisps are not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. Sorghum is naturally gluten-free.
