This flour is rich in protein, carbohydrates, and dietary fiber, making it a key player in promoting growth and development. When incorporated into diets alongside other whole grains, sorghum can help regulate blood sugar levels and support weight management. In addition to its carbohydrate content, sorghum flour is packed with essential minerals like calcium, iron, phosphorus, potassium, and sodium. It also offers a range of vitamins, including thiamine, niacin, folate, and riboflavin, which contribute to immunity and heart health.

Barley flour contributes to a healthy diet through the presence of beta-glucan, a soluble fiber derived from barley's cell walls. This substance becomes gel-like in the digestive tract, improving digestion and nutrient absorption. When you eat foods with beta-glucan, it makes you feel fuller, so you end up eating less during your meals. Barley's tough, non-dissolving fibers help prevent constipation and digestive issues by encouraging regular bowel movements. Furthermore, these fibers help in blood sugar management, potentially reducing diabetes risk. Barley flour is used in various bread preparations and may be malted to create malt flour for specific bread types. Additionally, barley flakes can be incorporated into porridge, soups, and other dishes.
