White pearled sorghum grain has had its outer bran removed, producing a lighter-coloured grain that cooks more quickly and has a milder, less astringent flavour than whole grain sorghum. It retains useful protein, iron, and magnesium, though less fibre than whole grain sorghum.
Cook in 3 parts water for 30-40 minutes (faster than whole sorghum); use in salads, soups, and as a rice substitute. The lighter colour makes it suitable for porridge and grain bowls.

* % 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.
