5 Recipes for Sweet Potato Lovers

Posted on Oct 31, 2018

If you are a fan of fall recipes, sweet potatoes are likely on your ingredients list. Did you know sorghum and sweet potatoes pair nicely together? Sweet potatoes and sorghum both blend well with an assortment of spices and ingredients in a variety of recipes. The nuttiness of whole grain sorghum fuses with the slight sugariness of sweet potatoes in salads and other savory dishes. Sorghum syrup adds an earthy sweetness - like molasses - to traditional glazed sweet potato dishes and casseroles. Complementing sorghum’s nutrient profile, sweet potatoes also pack a nutritious punch. They contain beta carotene, vitamin C, fiber and are fat-free. November is Sweet Potato Awareness Month – a time to enjoy all things sweet potato. We’ve gathered five of our favorite sorghum recipes that sweet potato lovers are sure to crave this Fall.
