Bob's Red Mill Sorghum Flour, 4-Pack (22 Oz) | Gluten-Free Baking
Bob's Red Mill Sorghum Flour — Gluten-Free, 4 × 22 oz
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is an ancient African grain now recognized as one of the most nutritionally complete gluten-free flours available. Bob's Red Mill whole grain white sorghum flour retains the bran and germ, providing approximately 10g protein per cup alongside significant iron, B vitamins (niacin, thiamin, riboflavin), and phosphorus. Sorghum's distinctively high resistant starch content — starch that reaches the colon undigested and acts as prebiotic fiber — gives baked goods a lower glycemic impact than most refined flour alternatives. Its antioxidant profile includes 3-deoxyanthocyanidins and proanthocyanidins, unique phenolic compounds that survive heat processing. In gluten-free baking, sorghum provides a mild, slightly sweet flavor and contributes structure through its protein content — typically blended at 25–50% with other GF flours (rice flour, tapioca, potato starch) for optimal texture. This 4-pack provides ample supply for regular GF baking households.
Key Features
- Whole Grain Nutrition: ~10g protein per cup, iron, B vitamins — more complete nutritional profile than white rice flour or tapioca
- High Resistant Starch: Sorghum's resistant starch acts as prebiotic fiber — lowers glycemic response and supports gut microbiome compared to refined GF flours
- Antioxidant-Rich: Contains 3-deoxyanthocyanidins and proanthocyanidins — heat-stable phenolic antioxidants not found in wheat or most GF alternatives
- Mild, Versatile Flavor: Slightly sweet, neutral taste that doesn't overpower baked goods — works in pancakes, muffins, bread, cookies, and flatbreads
- Certified Gluten-Free & Non-GMO: Tested and certified safe for celiac disease and gluten sensitivity
- 4-Pack Value: Four 22 oz bags — generous supply for households that bake regularly
Baking Tips
Blend sorghum at 25–50% with complementary GF flours (rice flour, tapioca starch, potato starch) for best texture. Sorghum absorbs slightly more liquid than wheat — add 1–2 tablespoons extra liquid per cup of sorghum flour used.
