Scientists highlight health benefits of sorghum grain often used for livestock feed

Scientists have found that sorghum, a grain often used for livestock feed, has significant health benefits. It is gluten-free and rich in essential fatty acids, which may help improve heart health and reduce inflammation. The study identified various types of fats in six sorghum varieties, highlighting Bazley for its high omega-3 and low omega-6 content. This balance may lower inflammation, a risk factor for obesity and diabetes. Researchers also discovered a new type of fat in sorghum called FAHFAs, which could have health benefits. Ongoing studies aim to explore these potential advantages further.
