Description

The listing, Sorghum Seeds - Gluten Free Grain - 25 has ended.

Sorghum, is commonly eaten with all its outer layers, thereby retaining the majority of its nutrients.

Sorghum is high in antioxidants, which may help lower the risk of cancer, diabetes, heart disease and some neurological diseases. In addition, the wax surrounding the sorghum grain contains compounds called policosanols, that may have an impact on human cardiac health. Some researchers, in fact, believe that policosanols have cholesterol-lowering potency comparable to that of statins.

SO EASY TO USE
Sorghum can be substituted for wheat flour in a variety of baked goods. Its neutral flavor and light color makes it easily adaptable to a variety of dishes. Sorghum improves the texture of recipes and digests more slowly with a lower glycemic index, so it sticks with you a bit longer than other flours or flour substitutes.

Muffins, breads, pizzas, pastas, casseroles, cookies, cakes, pies and more can be made using Sorghum flour.

You can also substitute sorghum in your existing recipes. Start with recipes that use relatively small amounts of wheat flour, such as brownies or pancakes. Substituting sorghum takes some experimenting and patience, but the results can be very delicious. Because sorghum flour does not contain gluten, bakers often incorporate a binder such as xanthan gum or cornstarch to add “stretch.” For instance, you could add 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum per cup of sorghum flour for cookies and cakes, and 1 teaspoon per cup for breads.

I will ship the seeds once the payment is made and the Listia verified address is sent. I accept PAYPAL, money order, check and concealed cash.

Good luck bidding.

Thanks for the valuable information Meredith! I'll update this in my upcoming auctions and I'll remember to stay away from xanthan gum.
