Sorghum

Sorghum is a genus of plants in the grass family. Most species are native to Australia, with some extending to Africa, South America, Africa, Asia and certain islands in the Indian and the Pacific Oceans. One species, Sorghum Bicolor, native to Africa with many cultivated forms now, is an important crop worldwide, used for food (as a grain and in sorghum syrup or molasses), fodder, the production of alcoholic beverages and biofuels. It is the fifth-most important cereal crop grown in the world. From a nutritional point of view, Sorghum is rich in fibre and protein. It is naturally gluten and wheat free, very easy to digest. It contains vitamins, antioxidants, as well as some phytochemicals like flavonoids that are protective to our health.
