Sorghum Nutritional Value

Sorghum can be cooked and eaten, though it is also frequently processed into ingredients for other dishes. A quarter cup of whole-grain sorghum contains approximately:

  • Calories: 163
  • Protein: five grams
  • Fat: two grams
  • Carbohydrates: 36 grams
  • Fiber: three grams

One of the most prominent micronutrients in sorghum is iron. One-quarter cup of sorghum contains approximately 12% of your daily recommended value. Other micronutrients found in sorghum include:

  •  Potassium
  •  Niacin
  •  Thiamine
  •  Vitamin B6
  •  Phosphorous
  •  Manganese
  •  Magnesium

Potential Health Benefits of Sorghum

Sorghum has a unique structure, making it harder for your body to absorb proteins from the whole grains. In spite of this drawback, studies have shown a number of health benefits linked to the consumption of sorghum.

Anti-Inflammatory Effects

Sorghum 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.

Anti- Cancer Effects

Several of the phenolic compounds in sorghum have been linked to anti-cancer effects. The tannins in sorghum, which contribute to the grain’s pigmentation, may inhibit an enzyme linked to the development of breast cancer.

 Inhibits Cancer

Certain phytochemicals in sorghum have also been shown to have cancer-inhibiting properties, particularly in gastrointestinal and skin cancers.

Studies have shown that sorghum consumption is linked to lower incidences of esophageal cancer globally, including parts of Africa, Russia, India, China and Iran. Wheat and corn consumption have been linked to elevated rates of esophageal cancer.

Whole grains in general are correlated with reduced risks of other forms of digestive tract cancer, especially colon cancer. It is unknown if this is due to the phytochemicals or dietary fiber in grains, but as sorghum is high in both, it would certainly provide the same benefits as other grains.

5. Gluten-Free

Sorghum is safe to eat for those with Celiac disease. The Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry published a study that analyzed the genome of sorghum to determine if it contained any gluten proteins. They confirmed that gluten is absent in all varieties of sorghum.

6. Currently Non-Genetically Modified

Another benefit of sorghum is that it’s a non-genetically modified crop.

Although, the company DuPont Pioneer is working to develop a genetically modified (GM) variety.

Most plant genetic engineering to date has been to improve a crop’s herbicide tolerance and resistance to pests. DuPont is working on a new type of genetic engineering to enhance the micronutrient content of sorghum. Their goal is to develop a “biofortified” strain of sorghum with higher vitamin A, more easily absorbed iron and zinc, and an improved balance of amino acids. They have already grown trial GM sorghum crops in Africa.

GM sorghum is not grown in North America yet, but always buy certified organic sorghum products when you can find them. This will ensure there is no GM material present, as well as avoiding harmful pesticide residues.
