Summary

Abstract This review attempts to set forth the current uses and benefits of sorghum ingredients (sorghum syrup, grain, and flour) and implications for future potential uses of sorghum for human consumption. Additionally, this review aims to direct future innovation, research, and development for this grain in all forms, with a particular focus on increasing the nutritional quality of food for human onsumption. Sorghum is an ancient grain that has been underutilized in terms of its nutrient and antioxidant density and functional properties. Sorghum syrup is a sweetener that has a complex flavor profile lending a harmonious balance of sweet and savory in product formulations and provides a lower glycemic index and a higher antioxidant content compared to other commonly used
