About Sorghum flour, refined, unenriched
A versatile gluten-free flour derived from a cereal grain, this ingredient is finely milled to remove the bran and germ, resulting in a light, smooth texture. Its neutral flavor makes it an excellent base for a variety of baked goods, from breads and muffins to pancakes and flatbreads. While it lacks the enrichment of some refined flours, it still provides a moderate amount of protein and is naturally free of gluten, making it a valuable option for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
Nutritionally, it offers a good source of complex carbohydrates for sustained energy, along with a small amount of dietary fiber to support digestive health. It contains minimal fat and is relatively low in calories compared to some other flours. In cooking, it can be used on its own or blended with other gluten-free flours to improve texture and structure in recipes. Its mild taste allows it to adapt well to both sweet and savory dishes, and it's often favored in traditional flatbreads or as a thickener in sauces and gravies.
