Have you ever wondered why sorghum is my absolute favorite grain? Well, let me tell you, some pretty unique and fascinating aspects make sorghum stand out from all the different types of grains in the world.
One of the biggest reasons I love sorghum is because it doesn’t contain lectins. Now, you might be asking yourself, what are lectins? Lectins are a protein found in many foods, including grains, legumes, and nightshade vegetables. And let me tell you, lectins are not your friend. They are designed to make you sick and feel unwell, so many people avoid them.
But sorghum is one of the only grains that doesn’t contain lectins, making it an excellent choice for those looking to avoid these pesky little proteins. Besides, sorghum has a unique nutritional content, making it a great addition to your diet.
For starters, sorghum is rich in polyphenols, especially flavonoids. Polyphenols, in general, are loved by the gut microbiome, which means they can positively impact your digestive health. And because sorghum is so high in polyphenols, it can be a great way to support your gut microbiome and overall health.
But that’s not all. Sorghum is also high in bioactive lipids, compounds that have been shown to have a wide range of health benefits. Bioactive lipids are a crucial part of a healthy diet, from reducing inflammation to supporting brain health. And if you’ll have a grain, why not get those benefits in ingrained form rather than taking it as a supplement?
Now, I don’t want to bore you with too much science, so let me share a short, humorous story to illustrate the impact of sorghum on my life. About a year ago, I discovered sorghum and made it a regular diet. At first, I was a little skeptical because it wasn’t a grain I had ever heard of. But after a few weeks of eating it regularly, I noticed a big difference in how I felt. I had more energy, improved digestion, and felt healthier overall.
Then, one day, I went out to eat with some friends and ordered a dish with wheat noodles. Within an hour of eating, I started to feel bloated and uncomfortable. It was like all my progress over the past few weeks had been instantly reversed. That’s when I realized just how much sorghum had been helping me feel my best, and I knew that it was a grain that I would continue to love and appreciate for years to come.
So there you have it, folks. These are the unique and fascinating aspects of why I love sorghum. From its lack of lectins to its rich nutritional content, sorghum is one grain worth adding to your diet. And who knows, maybe it will become your favorite grain too!
