Anyone Using This Grain?

ANYONE USING THIS GRAIN?

Jowar, a New Cereal Grain, appears to be safe for celiacs. It is a hard, round, white grain free of "off" flavors and colors, and with excellent milling characteristics. Jowar is very similar to a food sorghum widely used in India. For further information, write to Duncan Brown, PO Box 824, Water Valley, TX 76958, or call (915) 484-3381.

Durra, Egyptian Millet, Feterita, Guinea Corn, Jowar, Kaffircorn, Milo, Shallu and Sudan Grass - Sweet White Sorghum

Yeah. Bob's Red Mill has white sorgum flour that I used in combination with other flours. I like it.

I haven't used sorghum flour yet, but Enjoy Life uses it in some of their cookies and I seem to tolerate it well so far.

I use sorghum a lot for Ty's cookies and cakes. I use Carol Fenster's sorghum/corn flour blend.

1 1/2 cups sorghum flour

1 1/2 cups potato starch or cornstarch

1 cup tapioca flour

1/2 cup white corn flour

I have never found white corn flour, but the yellow is pretty cheap at Superstore or Walmart, so that's what I use. This flour blend is good for both cookies and cake.

The sorghum I've found is kind of an ivory, or very pale beige.
