Description: Sorghum, an ancient grain, can be an alternative to flour for people on a gluten-free diet. Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is not a well-known grain in the world food market. It ranks a distant fifth among most-produced grains — behind barley, rice, wheat, and corn. While dwarfed by better-known grains (or cereals), sorghum is an important crop that has long played a vital role in certain diets. Other names for sorghum include milo, great millet, Indian millet, and jowar. It’s a grass plant thought to have originated around 8,000 B.C. in Africa, where it has remained a major crop. The U.S. currently produces the most sorghum worldwide. Sorghum is grown and sold for various purposes besides human consumption. Sorghum is a popular animal feed and an emerging biofuel. Today, more than 500 million people in more than 30 countries rely on sorghum as a key part of their diet. Many people are also looking at sorghum for its unique characteristics. In particular, those with celiac disease have been drawn to sorghum as a source of gluten-free flour. Add a touch of color to your garden with these organic Red Milo Sorghum seeds from Womack Farm.
