Sorghum Flour (Sorgo) – Traditional Flour for African Porridge and Baking

Bring the comforting taste of traditional African cooking home with sorghum flour (sorgo). Made from ground sorghum grain, it is ideal for hearty porridge, traditional staple dishes and homemade baking.

Key Features at a Glance

  • Product: Sorghum flour (sorgo)
  • Ingredient: Ground sorghum grain
  • Flavor: Mild, earthy and slightly nutty
  • Nutrition: Naturally contains carbohydrates, plant protein and fiber
  • Naturally gluten-free grain: Check the package for cross-contact information
  • Uses: Porridge, traditional African dishes and baking

How to Use

  1. Porridge: Gradually whisk the flour into water, stirring constantly to prevent lumps, and cook to your preferred thickness.
  2. Traditional staple dishes: Cook a thicker sorghum flour meal (such as tuo or other swallows) to serve with soups, stews and sauces.

Product Details

Sorghum has been grown and eaten for generations across Africa, and sorghum flour remains a staple in many West African kitchens. Its mild, earthy flavor and satisfying texture make it a great base for homemade meals that connect food, family and tradition.

Picture a warm bowl of sorghum porridge on a busy morning, or a thicker sorghum meal served with your favorite soup. For many families, dishes made with sorghum flour bring back memories of shared breakfasts and recipes passed down through generations.

Beyond porridge, sorghum flour is great for experimenting with pancakes, flatbreads and other baked goods. Because sorghum does not naturally contain gluten, it is popular in gluten-free recipes. If you avoid gluten for medical reasons, check the label for gluten-free certification and cross-contact information.

The cookies got wet, in my opinion; they're dry and have yellow residue on them. Please make sure we protect them properly before shipping them here.

Customer photo review of Cocoa butter Hand and Body Cream 460ml by Princess Cocoa Paa

I bought this in Ghana 6 years ago, and was devastated that I couldn't find it anywhere in the US. Its great that I found a site that holds it. Its extremely moisturizing and silky, it makes my skin feel and smell fantastic. It has a strong coco butter scent, but it isn't pure coco butter. So if you're looking for that, this isn't the product for you. Its like a coco butter lotion.

Customer photo review of Teo Sheito Hot Pepper Sauce | Authentic Ghanaian Heat

My order arrived on time and was surprisingly well packaged. I was worried because I’ve ordered from other African sellers online, and my packages have arrived broken due to poor packaging or without tracking updates. I used this order as a test, and I’ll definitely be ordering more from Yado soon.
