Product Details

Bob's Red Mill Sweet Sorghum Flour is a whole grain flour milled from white sorghum, a cereal grass long grown across the American plains. It is certified gluten free, which makes it a working staple for bakers cooking for celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

What sets it apart from other gluten free flours is how little it announces itself. The flavor is mild and faintly sweet, the color pale, the grind fine rather than gritty, so it carries a recipe instead of stamping itself on it the way bean or buckwheat flours can. Bob's Red Mill suggests 15 to 20 percent sorghum in a mixed flour blend for breads, cakes and cookies, paired with a binder such as xanthan gum to do the structural work gluten would otherwise do.

Use it in pancakes, muffins, drop cookies and quick breads, or on its own for flatbreads in the style of Indian jowar roti.

Questions About This Product

The things people actually want to know before they cook with it.

Is sorghum a kind of wheat?
No. Sorghum is a separate cereal grass with no botanical relationship to wheat, rye or barley, which is why the flour milled from it carries no gluten. The resemblance is in how it mills and how it looks in the bag, not in the plant it comes from.
Is this the same thing as sorghum syrup or sorghum molasses?
No, and the two are not substitutes for one another. Sorghum syrup is made by pressing juice from the stalks of sweet sorghum and boiling it down, so it is a liquid sweetener. This is a dry flour milled from the grain. A recipe calling for sorghum syrup wants the sweetener and will not work with this.
Does the word sweet in the name mean it is sweetened?
No. It is plain milled grain with no added sugar. The name refers to the mild, faintly sweet character of the white sorghum it is milled from. It will not sweeten a recipe on its own, so you still add whatever sugar the recipe calls for.
How much xanthan gum do I need with it?
Bob's Red Mill suggests roughly a quarter teaspoon of xanthan gum per cup of gluten free flour as a starting point. Too little and the crumb is dry and falls apart; too much and the dough turns sticky and gummy. The right amount depends on how much liquid, fat and egg the recipe carries, so treat the quarter teaspoon as a place to start and adjust.
Is sorghum flour the same as jowar flour?
Yes. Jowar is the Indian name for sorghum, so jowar atta and sorghum flour are the same grain. If you are following a recipe for jowar roti or bhakri, this is the flour it means.
