Alternative grains in nutrition

Many people suffer from gluten sensitivity or gluten intolerance. They have to avoid or limit their gluten intake. Sorghum and millet are gluten-free cereals, wherefore persons with gluten sensitivity or gluten intolerance could consume them.

Our aim was to compare literature data about the chemical compositions of sorghum and millet with other grains.
