Sorghum flour is ground from whole sorghum grain — the world's fifth-largest cereal crop and a staple across Africa and Asia. It is naturally gluten-free, high in protein (around 10g/100g), and provides iron, magnesium, phosphorus, B vitamins, and a range of polyphenols with antioxidant activity. Its mild flavour makes it one of the most versatile gluten-free baking flours.
Substitutes well for up to 50% of wheat flour; combine with tapioca starch and a binder for gluten-free baking. Sorghum flour keeps well at room temperature due to its stable bran oils.

* % Daily Value is the proportion of an adult
EU Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) supplied by 100g of this food.
NRVs are the labelling standard — the same basis as the “%RI” figures printed on
food packaging — so these percentages are directly comparable with a shop label.
They are a single adult figure and do not vary by age or sex, which is why they
sometimes differ from UK dietary reference values: the NRV for vitamin C is 80mg
where the UK RNI is 40mg. When Nutriofia assesses your own intake in the
reports and trackers, it uses the age- and sex-specific UK values instead.
Fibre is shown without a percentage. Our fibre values use the UK
Englyst NSP method, while the published 30g daily goal is an AOAC figure — the two
are measured differently and a single percentage would mislead.
