Sorghum hybrids that produce white tan plant kernels are being grown and identity preserved. The new sorghum grains have good milling properties. The milled products have light color, bland taste, and can be used in a wide variety of applications. The composition and properties will be discussed. Other special sorghums contain high levels of phenols and tannins that have significant antioxidant activities. These sorghums produce bran fractions with phenol content and oxygen radical absorption capacity (ORAC) values equivalent to blueberries.
