Sorghum

EverydayDry

Sorghum is an ancient gluten-free grain known for its hearty, pearl-like kernels and mild, slightly sweet flavor. This drought-resistant cereal grain provides exceptional nutritional value, being rich in fiber, protein, and antioxidants, while also offering a sustainable alternative to common grains. When cooked, the versatile grain maintains a pleasant chewy texture and can be prepared similarly to rice or quinoa, making it suitable for both sweet and savory dishes.
