Sorghum is an excellent, high yielding gluten free grain. It is excellent for those with gluten intolerance similar to millet: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5mkl5-orp2iZsU

[@keitafoxy7428]

Please review a product called “Ting ya Mabele”. It’s milled Sourgum, can be fine or corse. Typically fermented by BaTswana people in South Africa (not sure but assumed it’s also consumed in the country Botswana, where BaTswana people in SA descend from - these are neighbouring countries. For reference Africa is 3x the size of US. There are 54 sovereign countries in Africa, each with separate elections, cultures and languages. A widely purchased brand - Supreme, Corse Mabele a Ting. I always wonder if it’s healthy or heavily fortified. I enjoy Mabele… when fermented. Used as sour porridge with sugar or as is with a sides for lunch or supper.

There is a list of sources in the description box. If you like it, you know you can grow it where you live. There's quite a bit grown where I live, in Tennessee; it's used here pretty much exclusively for syrup. You would want different seed varieties for flour and for cooked grain.

Most people don't even think about small grains (milo, millet, sorghum) and is not retail sold by the bigger wheat, rice, buckwheat, barley, rye, ...) grain retailers.

[@buddhapiyao1315]

In India sorghum flour commonly made into a Flatbread. You have to mix the flour with a pinch of salt and hot water and knead it into a soft dough. Rest it for 15 mins. Then make small balls, roll it flat and cook on a skillet or pan like tortillas. Whole sorghum grains can be soaked and cooked like rice. Toss the cooked sorghum into your salad or saute with some veggies and spices like fried rice. Cooked sorghum grains can be mashed and added to soups. Also the flour can be used to make soups.

I been big on using ancient grains ever since I tried quinoa. Then over time I have discovered others but have not tried many unless they were in a bread. I heard about sorghum in a video by Dr. Gundry. As a type 1 diabetic, I thunk this would be a great addition to my diet. 😁👍

Great for cookies. Can be sweetened with ground dates if you wish.

[@mattnobrega6621]

@@charlanpennington3989 Sounds good. I mostly use stevia as a sweetener and very rarely do I use raw unfiltered honey in small amount maybe in a tea once in a blue moon. But stevia is my main go to. Gotta watch the dried fruits as they are high in sugar. 🤷‍♂️ Thank you for the suggestion😁👍

[@charlanpennington3989]

@@mattnobrega6621 , I love Stevia in cold or frozen things, but despise it in hot drinks and baked goods. You are very fortunate that you can use it. My sister turned alergic to the whole world of food except for a few things. I visited and tried to create some baked goods for her. Dates as sweetener worked in muffins, maple syrup ok if limited, so I covered the top of one muffin type so the tongue believed it was sweeter than it was. Did another muffin with maple as sugar, and diced bits of dried apricot. Raisins helped sweeten a cinnamon nut kind, and a little molasses to increase flavor.

Curious why the wild birds and squirrels eat everything in the birdseed mixture before they touch the sorghum?

Thank you so much for this -sensation hat just came up. Just yesterday, I asked the Lord ,’ What was this that looked a lot like corn growing in my flower pots?’ I had bought bird seed I thought it was millet but there was also a reddish round seed along with black sunflower seeds in this mix. Well the birds were messy. Question, how do you process sorghum for syrup? Grandmom Mae taffy and popcorn balls with it!

[@hairgrowthzone8112]

Not all varieties of sorghum can give syrup. There is a specific one the "sweet sorghum" made by the Haitian Biologist *Gaël Pressoir* this type is mainly use to produce beer and malt beverages. They also use it the make a molasse.

i think it is same principle like pasta,flour,and rice when pasta and rice boiled it will double or triple in size and it will absorb some of the water, then example if you weight it before cook it will around 250 gram and maybe it can increase to 300 or even 350 gram depends on the water that absorb into the rice or pasta same as flour when you're weight it before mixing with water.. example 100 gram than you add some water it will add some of the weight that why the sorghum (maybe) it have more protein when dry compare to when it is already cooked,it is absorb some water? in video they say 1 cup of dry sorghum contain 22 gram protein compare to the cooked 1 cup sorghum contain 6 protein mabe it is triple (3x times absorb water) the size when cooked
