Sorghum Sorghum

Sorghum

Sorghum is an environmentally responsible crop. It uses fewer natural resources in its production and is the model sustainable crop. Sorghum is high in dietary fiber and has a neutral flavor making it ideal for use in numerous types of gluten free food products. Sorghum is high in phenolic compounds that can add health benefits not found in other fruits, vegetables, and grains. The darker sorghums, in particular, have high levels of antioxidants, comprised of 3d-anthocyanins, which are unique to sorghum. Several sorghum varieties are part of current NIH studies.

The genes in the sorghum are what determine the color of the grain. Nu Life Market features a white, brown, burgundy, and black. The variety of brown grain that Nu Life Market uses is referred to as Sumac Sorghum and the black is Black Sorghum. Black and Sumac Sorghum Grains are very high in antioxidants, tannins, and G.I. stable anthocyanin.
