With its hearty, chewy texture and delicate, neutral flavor, PURELIVING Sprouted Sorghum is a versatile grain with a wide variety of uses. Because it adapts well to other flavors and is naturally gluten free, sorghum is especially useful in replacing wheat products in many recipes.
Because it has a very thin hull, sorghum is typically eaten whole, meaning you get all of the nutrients of the natural whole grain. Sorghum is a valuable source of protein, fiber, iron, and magnesium and is relatively low on the glycemic index, making it a good option for diabetics.
An ancient cereal grain, sorghum is thought to have originated in Northern Africa over 8,000 years ago.
A natural process for preserving the many wonders of new life, sprouting increases the bioavailability of key nutrients in the whole grain and simplifies their absorption by the body for energy and nourishment! Learn more about sprouting here.
Cooking Directions: Sort & Rinse. Bring 3 cups water and 1 cup Sprouted Sorghum to boil. Cover, reduce, heat and simmer 50-60 minutes until tender. Drain excess liquid, fluff with fork & serve.
Suggestions:
1. Sorghum grain makes a perfect substitute for couscous, bulgur, and barley in soups and side dishes.
2. Use a hand mill or food processor to grind sorghum to the degree of fineness required (coarsely ground for a cooked cereal; finely ground for flour). Flour should be prepared fresh; if not using within a few days, store in the freezer.
