Kelly Marshall

Sorghum ShowdownIf you’ve got a great recipe that uses sorghum, the Sorghum Checkoff is looking for you!  The contest goes through the month of July.  Recipes including sorghum whole or pearled grain, flour, syrup, popped, flaked or bran are welcomed.

“This is a great opportunity for people to explore the benefits and versatility of cooking with sorghum,” said Doug Bice, Sorghum Checkoff high value markets director. “Sorghum has really taken off as a food ingredient, and this recipe contest will help express why sorghum is the smart choice for all your culinary needs.”

Sorghum Showdown2To enter the Sorghum Recipe Showdown, participants must submit their entry form, original recipe and a high resolution photo. Alternatively, participants may post the recipe with a photo of the dish on their blog and then Pin the recipe to Pinterest with the tag #tastesorghum in the description. All entries must be posted and submitted or pinned between July 1, 2015, and July 31, 2015.

“We have some great prizes for winners,” Bice said. “First place will take home $500 cash, second place will win a custom Dutch oven, and third place will receive a Sorghum: The Smart Choice® apron. I would encourage everyone to get involved whether this will be your first or 100th time to cook with sorghum.”

Look for winners to be announced on September 1, 2015. Visit SorghumShowdown.com for full contest details.
