National Sorghum Month

June is National Sorghum Month.  Also known as milo, sorghum is an ancient cereal grain and was collected 8000 years ago in Southern Egypt.  Sorghum was domesticated in Ethiopia and Sudan and from there moved throughout all of Africa, where it remains an important cereal grain. Why do we care?  It’s gluten-free.  While 40,000 to 60,000 Americans have been diagnosed as celiac, there could be as many as 3 million undiagnosed. A gluten-free diet incorporating sorghum also has been adopted by many with autism, ADHD and irritable bowel syndrome.
