Sorghum. Super yummy. I enjoy it every day. 💚🌱🇨🇦
I just bought some sorghum on clearance at my local health food store and I'm looking forward to trying it.
Eating oatmeal and watching Dr. Greger talk about sorghum.
Bryan Johnson Blueprint, Ai will soon take the guess work out of it and all gurus and snake oil salesmen will soon be gone. Don't die, see you in 2500.
Grains KILL !
He's being left behind ! Sad . Great mind .
I love this channel!
Из сорго тоже делают веники, но это не просо- пшено.
Сорго и амарант нейтральные крупы, в любые блюда можно добавить.
For IBS patients. It doesn't bloat.
Barley is my favorite grain. It has a lower glycemic index than any other grain I'm aware of and it's high in beta glucan, the stuff that activates the immune system. Nice to hear that it comes in colored, high antioxidant versions too.
Growing my own sorghum varieties!
Food as medicine.
Thank you so much Dr
8:34 "Which is a good thing in the age of epidemic obesity": This is a potentially misleading overgeneralization, and is a common misleading fallacy in the nutrition world.
It's not a good thing for many individuals. For most obese people, probably yes; but for many of us, not at all.
Generalizations from studies that apply to large populations often get misrepresented as applicable to the receiver of the information. But population studies often do not apply at all to the individual listener or receiver of the information — the generalized conclusion doesn't apply to many individuals in a population.
This type of fallacy is very common in the nutrition space.
Sources of sorghum (esp in the US)?
Anyone?
Please post.
Here in India it is available. It reduces uric acid in the body. So I take sorghum or Jowhar.
I get sorghum from Bob’s Red Mill. I cook it in a pan like rice; takes one hour. Keep it in the fridge and spoon half a cup over frozen blueberries, and kefir in the morning. Easy and nutritious breakfast.
Taste the biscuit. Taste the goodness of the biscuit.
Did anyone else notice he is AI figure?
Thanks
Thank you, Dr. G.😊
I use sorghum as part of my multigrain porridge. Barley, oats, rye, mixed millets, red/yellow lentils and sorghum. It's good 'sweet' (flax, walnuts, berries, plant milk) or savory (turmeric, pepper, garlic powder, cumin, nigella, flax).
Sorghum sounds like boredom.
I don't know why you're having a problem finding red sorghum I found it on both truly market and Amazon
I once found a plant in my Chicago garden, and it turned out to be a sorghum plant. We are near farms so birds can "plant" these. Dr. Greger, Amazon has Bob's Red Mill sorghum grain.
I want to experiment with sorghum in my seitan
Barley has the best stats
Found some red sorghum on Amazon in Spain just now 🙂 Canadian here that left North America for a better lifestyle = at the beach right now with an ‘everything smoothie’, taking in some sun and watching a selection of your videos haha life is good
My mum would feed me a slurry made out of sorghum and barley when i had loose motion or when my stomach upset..
And it helped.. and now i see why ..
found red sorghum on amazon. why does he say you can't get it online?
Loved the ending!
I bought some white sorghum tried to pop it and would not pop. I then boiled it and did not like it. Tossed the rest in yard for birds.
I love to make my sourdough with sorghum and now I have confirmation that it is healthy too, thanks Dr!!
Great info
It is delicious
I believe "Grain Berry" cereal is a source of black onyx sorghum!
Last night, I ate about 7 pounds of plain potatoes for my last meal. My fasting glucose this morning was 88. This should clearly show that the glycemic index doesn't matter. You don't get more high glycemic than an enormous meal of potatoes
Mr. Greger, will we see you at the Sorghum festival near Portsmouth OH tomorrow?
Great video as always – but my vote is not include the pictures of the cancer mice. I don't think it really added to the learning, but it definitely added to me being creeped out.
I've seen red and black sorghum seeds for planting so if you like to grow things
For some thought-provoking reading, try searching for "dangers of excessive polyphenol consumption" and "dangers of excessive antioxidants."
More isn't always better. In fact, there is almost always a limit beyond which there are serious concerns and adverse consequences.
the world is waking up to the vegan cult and that virtually everything on this channel is a lie.
Loves me some sorghum but I swear it used to be a lot less expensive and I wish it would be again. Note to the kitchen gardeners don't sprout this one; it's a bitter grass. Thanks Doc and staff 🥦❤
I get all the red sorghum I want at my local H-Mart 😁
Dr orthorexia
I would consider buckwheat as even better. Buckwheat was considered a peasant food centuries ago. Only now studies show it's actually a super food. Very high in antioxidants and micronutrients.
Sorghum is bird feed. Eat barley. It has way way better taste and texture. Also, the Romans fed it to their gladiator slaves for a reason.
You have Sorghum listed separately from a billet. I thought sorghum is a millet, right?
I mean I found red sourghum on Amazon. Even organic 🤷🏻♀️🤔 why does everyone say it’s god for growing mushroom?
😂 I busted out laughing when you said “make gluten free beer”!!!

Are mouse models narcissistic?
I've been baking with sorghum for some time now. I always add flax to up the fibre to carb ratio and I sweeten with xylitol to avoid added sugar.
It's an animal feed though
I love sorghum 😀 so tasty. Thank you for sharing, very interesting <3
I see a 50 Pound bag of black sorghum on Amazon but I don't see any smaller sizes 🙁
We planted a few for birds but We will SEED more next year
We grow red sorghum
Should I consider selling it in small quantities on the internet?
Doesn’t he look animated
The problem with most grains is there phytic acid and lectin content that inhibits absorbtion of nutrients. Sorghum is the only grain that has very low, if at all, negative effects caused by phytic ac id and lectins….
Great Video!!
There are 50 lb bags of black sorghum on Amazon. Just sayin
What do you think about Buckwheat? I just cooked up some buckwheat groats today and made tabouli with it. I may try buckwheat flour next. Any buzz about the health benefits of buckwheat?
you did not find other sorghums because (at least) indians consider better varieties as superfoods as per traditional beliefs … in fact they have tradition to eat while unripe and when ripe too … unripe is roasted like corns on cob are roasted on open fires and shared with friends and family and just about any random visitor to house and according to traditional beliefs is considered as a "meva" food … word meva is used for superfoods in india and all local languages have a local synonym for such words
