things people ask

• How many grams are in a cup of sorghum flour?
  About 138 g for one cup, spooned into the cup and leveled (the King Arthur convention). Sorghum flour is lighter and finer than brown rice flour, so it doesn't pack as aggressively when scooped — but a dipped cup can still drift 10-15 g over. For jowar roti dough or a GF muffin batter, that's enough to throw off the hydration.
• What ratio of sorghum flour works in a gluten-free blend?
  Most home GF blends use sorghum at 30-40% of the total flour weight, paired with a starch (tapioca, potato, or cornstarch) and often a second whole-grain flour like brown rice or millet. Sorghum brings a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a softer crumb than rice flour alone. Pushing it past 50% in cakes tends to read dense and a touch gritty.
• Can I use sorghum flour cup-for-cup for wheat flour?
  Not directly — sorghum has no gluten, so a 1:1 swap in a yeasted bread or a layer cake collapses without a binder. For jowar roti, bhakri, and injera-style flatbreads, it's used neat with hot water. For Western baking, swap by weight into a balanced GF blend with xanthan gum (about 1/4 tsp per cup of flour) rather than substituting straight.
