I couldn't find data for sorghum flour, but did find sorghum itself in the
USDA food composition database. The following is for 100 g sorghum.
By way of comparison, the figures are as follows:
sorghum (brown rice, white rice, whole wheat)
energy (kCal): 339 (370, 365, 327)
protein (g): 11 ( 8, 7, 13)
carbohydrate (g): 75 ( 77, 80, 71)
fat (g): 3 ( 3, 1, 2)
Note that this is by mass, not volume. I've also rounded the values off.
Sorghum is supposed to be high in vitamins and minerals. If you want more
details, or to check out other foods, you can look them up at:

(a very useful site!)
