SOURGHUM

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is a versatile, drought-resistant cereal grain grown widely in regions with arid climates, including Africa, India, and parts of the United States. Known for its resilience in harsh weather conditions and poor soil, Sorghum has become a staple food and livestock feed in many parts of the world. Nutritionally, Sorghum is rich in fiber, protein, and essential nutrients like iron, phosphorus, and B vitamins. It is naturally gluten-free, making it an excellent choice for individuals with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease. Sorghum is also a low-glycemic grain, making it beneficial for managing blood sugar levels. It can be used in various forms such as flour for baking, as a whole grain in salads, or in traditional dishes like porridge and flatbreads. With its impressive nutritional profile and sustainability, Sorghum is gaining popularity as a healthy, eco-friendly alternative in modern diets.
