Sorghum

Sorghum, also known as great millet or jowar, is a cereal grain that belongs to the Poaceae family. It is one of the oldest cultivated crops and has been a staple food for many communities around the world for thousands of years. Sorghum is highly adaptable to various climatic conditions, making it a valuable crop in both tropical and subtropical regions.

The plant itself typically grows tall with a cluster of large leaves at the top and a central stem known as the “sorghum cane.” Sorghum produces grains in the form of tightly compacted clusters at the top of the plant. These grains come in various colors, including white, yellow, red, and brown, depending on the specific variety.
