Bob's Red Mill Whole Grain Sorghum Flour
What it is
It is milled from the entire sorghum kernel, retaining its natural goodness. The flour has a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a fine texture, making it a versatile ingredient in various baked goods and cooking applications. It is a good choice for those seeking alternative flours.
How people cook with it
Sorghum flour can be used in a variety of ways in the kitchen, both in sweet and savory dishes.
- Baking breads and muffins
- Thickening sauces and gravies
- Creating pancakes and waffles
- Adding to cookie recipes
When baking, sorghum flour can often be substituted for a portion of all-purpose flour in recipes. It absorbs liquid differently than wheat flour, so you may need to adjust the amount of liquid in your recipe. For thickening, whisk it into cold liquids before adding to hot mixtures to prevent lumps. It can also be toasted lightly before use to enhance its nutty flavor.
How it differs from similar foods
Its flavor is generally milder and less assertive than some other alternative flours, offering a subtle sweetness that complements many dishes without overpowering them.
How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store the unopened package in a cool, dry place. Once opened, transfer the flour to an airtight container and keep it refrigerated or frozen for longer shelf life. This helps prevent spoilage and preserves the flour's quality for future use.
