RED GUINEA CORN FLOUR

Finely milled flour from whole guinea corn (sorghum) grains, including the nutrient-rich bran and germ. This gluten-free flour has a slightly sweet, nutty flavor and pale cream to light brown color depending on the corn variety used. Essential for preparing traditional Nigerian "tuwo" (thick porridge), fermented gruels (ogi baba), and as a wheat flour substitute in baking. The flour provides excellent binding properties for swallow foods when cooked.
