Sorghum Checkoff Presents the Jump with Jill Live Tour in Nashville and St. Louis

LUBBOCK, Texas - May 10, 2016 - PRLog -- The world's only rock & roll nutrition show Jump with Jill is poised to rock eight schools in St. Louis, Missouri and Nashville, Tennessee this May thanks to the powerhouse grain, sorghum. Sorghum has been around for centuries but it's now making its way to our plates as an ingredient in granola bars, cereals, and breads; as a grain with dinner served the way you would eat pasta or rice; or popped like popcorn to enjoy as a snack. The Sorghum Checkoff Jump with Jill Live Tour puts the spotlight on this versatile, nutritious grain by rocking schools in the following areas:

• St. Louis, Missouri - May 10 - 13, 2016
• Nashville, Tennessee - May 16 - 19, 2016

"In the same way that quinoa has become part of our fiber lexicon, we are energizing sorghum as a smart choice for digestive health," said Jump with Jill creator, Jill Jayne, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RD/RDN) and musician. "Sorghum is American grown so our tour has the underlying feature of connecting kids to their food."

"Whole grains are an important part of maintaining a wholesome diet," said Doug Bice, market development director for the Sorghum Checkoff. "Through our partnership with Jump with Jill, we can teach kids about sorghum's powerful nutrition that can be served up in hundreds of simple ways to meet dietary needs in a tasty, fun way."
