Antioxidants Hight levels
Sorghum is high in antioxidant 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.
Sorghum is a gluten free, whole grain, Non-GMO ancient grain. It is drought resistant and can be grown using fewer resources than other crops. Sorghum is higher in fiber and protein compared to the most widely used gluten free flours and hosts a wealth of other health benefits including antioxidant qualities in our sumac and burgundy varieties.
But unlike some good-for-you grains, it’s actually good… It’s rich in iron, zinc, B vitamins, and phytochemicals, and is drought-tolerant, growing well in drier regions of the U.S.—making it an environmentally sound choice, too.
