Description

Ingredients: wholegrain sorghum flour

Country of Origin: Bolivia / USA

Qualities: High concentrations of carbohydrates, essential minerals, and antioxidants, and the complete absence of gluten, make sorghum an excellent source of nutrition. Sorghum contains almost as much carbohydrates as wheat, corn, or rice, but has a significantly higher amount of fiber, along with high levels of unsaturated fats, protein, and minerals like phosphorus, potassium, calcium, copper, and iron. It is known to be rich in phenolic compounds, many of which act as antioxidants. It has also been shown to be good at reducing some forms of inflammation due to its antioxidant properties. Several of the phenolic compounds in sorghum have been linked to anti-cancer effects.

How to cook: fill a large stockpot with water and bring to a boil, add a pinch of salt and desired amount of pasta and return to a rolling boil, cook for 7 – 12 minutes or until desired texture. Separate the pasta gently with a fork during cooking to prevent clumping. Remove from heat and drain in a large colander over the sink or you can save the cooking water for later use as soup stock.

Storage: keeps well in a sealed container in a cool, dry, and dark location.
