Sorghum is known to be rich in phenolic compounds, many of which act as antioxidants. Sorghum has also been shown to be good at reducing some forms of inflammation due to its antioxidant properties. Several of the phenolic compounds in sorghum have been linked to anti-cancer effects. Sorghum is low in fat, but high in protein, fiber, B vitamins, and micronutrients.

A serving of sorghum contains 48% of the recommended daily intake of fiber. Fiber is the ultimate body regulator, helping food stay its course through your digestive system. Sorghum flour also prevents bloating, cramping, excess gas, constipation, diarrhea and general stomach aches.
