Products Details
Organic Sprouted Sorghum
Meet quinoa’s cool, unsung cousin—Organic Sprouted Sorghum. This ancient grain has become a modern pantry favourite thanks to its nutty flavour, chewy texture, and impressive nutritional value.
Unlike regular sorghum, sprouted sorghum is germinated before drying. As a result, it retains the whole grain, including the bran, while offering fibre and plant-based protein that are easier for your body to absorb.
Whether you enjoy it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, Organic Sprouted Sorghum is incredibly versatile. Serve it as a warm porridge with your favourite plant-based milk and crunchy toppings. Alternatively, use it as a wholesome substitute for rice in pilafs, salads, grain bowls, or side dishes.
How to Cook Organic Sprouted Sorghum
Rinse one cup of sprouted sorghum thoroughly.
Next, combine it with three cups of water or vegetable stock in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat.
Simmer for 50–60 minutes, or until the grains are tender. Finally, drain any excess liquid, fluff with a fork, and serve.
What Are Sprouted Foods?
If you’re new to sprouted foods, you’re not alone. Sprouted grains, legumes, and nuts begin as ordinary seeds that are soaked and rinsed until tiny sprouts appear.
During this natural process, enzymes become active. Consequently, the grains may offer improved nutrient availability while remaining rich in fibre, protein, vitamins, and minerals.
In addition, sprouting helps preserve the whole grain, making it a nutritious choice for everyday meals and healthy recipes.
Why Choose Organic Sprouted Sorghum?
Organic Sprouted Sorghum is a delicious and nutrient-rich grain that fits into many healthy lifestyles. It offers several benefits, including:
- Easier to digest than many traditional grains
- Rich in fibre and plant-based protein
- Packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants
- Supports a balanced and healthy diet
- Naturally gluten-free, making it suitable for gluten-sensitive diets*
- Delicious in breakfast bowls, salads, soups, baking, and side dishes
- Nutty flavour with a satisfying chewy texture
- Ideal for cooking, meal prep, and wholesome recipes
*Suitable for people avoiding gluten, although those with coeliac disease should always choose products certified gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination.
