Use sorghum in your smoothies instead of bananas.
Interesting but what would be the point beside being less calories and less sweet please explain
@@auditheranyone sensitive or allergic to latex can’t eat bananas… which is more common than celiac.
I have celiac and sorghum causes even worse reaction than gluten.
Sorghum does not contain gluten.
I know this but it is a grass and I am sensitive to all grasses.
@user-zg1zn5tf7o It may be helpful to try an elimination diet. Thereby slowly adding back one plant and fungi at a time to see where the trigger is happening.
I see red sorghum on Amazon, but was just wondering whether sorghum would be less expensive if you buy it from a feed store
If it matters, Amazon profits from foie gras.
It will be nice to tone down the intro bgm! Too loud and irritating!
Delicious but makes you poop!!
Everything you eat makes you poop

I would really like to find a new sugar substitute after discovering brown sugar is 90% white sugar with a little molasses. So which is least bad for you, sorghum syrup, honey, black strap mollasses, date syrup?
