Show and Tell Time for Sorghum Checkoff

USGC hosting flour users from around the world.

Compiled by staff

Published: Apr 13, 2010

An international sorghum food use team is in the United States and the Sorghum Checkoff and the U.S. Grains Council hopes to create new markets for sorghum during their visit. The participants are industry flour users from The Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Belgium and Taiwan. They wish to gain a better understanding of the use of sorghum flour in their manufactured products.

During the week the five team members will hear presentations on sorghum use in food and information on sorghum baking, as well as learn about current research concerning the baked characteristics of sorghum flour. Hands-on demonstrations will focus on flour, bread, teas and noodles made using sorghum, and all attendees will enjoy sorghum waffles.

Earl Roemer, sorghum producer and checkoff board member, says this program is exciting because those on the outside will be able to see sorghum as a viable food product, and they will see both health implications and food benefits. Jay O'Neil, International Grain Programs says this could lead to new possibilities in specialty markets around the world and mean good things for U.S. sorghum producers.
