Red Sorghum Flour

Red Sorghum Flour

Red Sorghum flour (Sorghum bicolor) is made from a nutrient-dense ancient grain revered for its versatility and rich, earthy flavor. Originating from Africa, sorghum has been cultivated for over 5,000 years. Today, it stands out as a gluten-free powerhouse, ideal for a wide range of culinary applications. Outback Harvest's Red Sorghum Flour is milled from whole grains, ensuring you receive all the nutritional benefits this superfood has to offer.

Naturally Gluten-Free

Red Sorghum flour is naturally gluten-free, making it an excellent choice for those with coeliac disease or gluten sensitivities. As the demand for gluten-free products continues to rise globally, Red Sorghum Flour provides a nutritious and flavorful alternative to traditional wheat flours.

Nutritional Benefits

Unlike many processed flours, Red Sorghum Flour retains its whole grain properties, offering a wealth of nutrients. It is rich in antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins, which give the grain its distinctive red color. These antioxidants help fight inflammation and support overall health. Red Sorghum Flour is also high in dietary fiber, aiding in digestion, and packed with essential vitamins and minerals such as B vitamins, magnesium, and iron. Its low glycemic index helps manage blood sugar levels, making it a great option for those with diabetes.
