Sorghum is a versatile and drought-resistant cereal grain belonging to the grass family, Poaceae. It is known for its tall stalks, which can reach heights of up to 15 feet, and its compact clusters of small, round seeds. Native to Africa, sorghum is now cultivated worldwide, particularly in Asia, the Americas, and Australia, due to its adaptability to arid and semi-arid climates.There are several types of sorghum, including grain sorghum, sweet sorghum, forage sorghum, and broomcorn. Grain sorghum is primarily grown for its edible seeds, which are rich in carbohydrates, fiber, protein, and essential minerals like iron and phosphorus. It is a gluten-free grain, making it an ideal choice for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. The seeds can be consumed whole, ground into flour for baking, or popped like popcorn.Sweet sorghum is cultivated for its juicy stalks, which are processed to produce syrup or biofuels, while forage sorghum is used as livestock feed due to its high biomass yield. Broomcorn, on the other hand, is grown for its stiff bristles, traditionally used in broom making.
