Sorghum flour
Ground sorghum grain with no fermentation — a plain gluten-free flour that tends to sit low on the histamine scale.
Sorghum flour is simply dried sorghum ground into a powder, with no fermentation or aging in the process.
-
Plain milling process — like rice flour, nothing in the production of plain sorghum flour typically raises histamine levels
-
Watch for blends — some gluten-free baking mixes combine sorghum flour with higher-histamine ingredients; single-ingredient flour is the cleaner choice
It bakes well as part of a homemade gluten-free flour blend alongside rice flour and tapioca starch.
