Sorghum is a nutrient dense cereal wholegrain indigenous to African soil.
While most wholegrains offer an impressive profile of micro-nutrients, this African grain is naturally gluten-free and especially noteworthy in its nutrient density.
HEALTH BENEFITS*
One half cup of sorghum grain contains:
- 18% of our required daily intake (hereafter DV) of iron (necessary for energy, internal temperature regulation, gastro-intestinal and immunity functions)
- 25% DV of Vitamin B6 (essential for nutrient absorption and nervous system functionality)
- 37% DV of magnesium (required to regulate the stress hormone, cortisone, in the body and rehabilitate adrenal and hormonal systems)
To name only a few!
Sorghum is not only a nutritious grain but a filling, affordable and delicious one, suitable for the whole family. When made into a porridge the vitamins and minerals content provide a great way for young children to start their day!
BodiCafé would like to offer you a new and quick way to enjoy the traditionally made sorghum porridge. Smoothie bowls are always a good idea and how much more with a hearty, nutty wholegrain to round off the texture. Yum! Let’s get into it…
