With a large portfolio of ingredients and services, ADM can help address any need, whether it’s functionality, taste, nutrition or economics.»
The gluten-free chocolate chip cookie that ADM will sample during IBIE uses the company’s new sorghum flour and VegeFull bean powder in place of wheat flour, as well as ADM’s Ambrosia® chocolate chips.
«The global market for gluten-free foods is experiencing tremendous growth, and that growth is expected to continue over the next few years,» said Brook Carson, ADM technical products and market development manager. «With sorghum flour, we can offer customers an economical gluten-free solution.»
Earlier this year, ADM began offering white sorghum flour and whole grain sorghum flour, for gluten-free and multi-grain applications. ADM’s sorghum flour has a light color and neutral flavor, making it ideal for use in foods such as cakes, cookies, breads and pancakes.

ADM Milling also offers wheat glutens, isolates and starches; dry sweeteners; mixes, fillings and morsels; and specialty milled products such as bulgur, wheat germ and bran, and malted barley flour.
Visitors to the ADM booth will also have the opportunity to learn about ADM’s cocoa and chocolate baking ingredients, including Ambrosia chocolates, chips, chunks and coatings for use in baked goods, and its line of deZaan® cocoa powders, available in vibrant reds and browns to help bakers distinguish their products.
Also featured this year is ADM’s line of VegeFull cooked bean ingredients, which includes powders, grits, noodles, pieces and whole quick-prep beans. VegeFull ingredients are made from black, small red, navy, pinto or garbanzo beans and helps to increase vegetable protein and fiber in foods such as baked goods, cookies, snacks and cereals.
