About Sorghum

Sorghum is a cereal grain from sorghum plants. The name can refer to whole grain or grain used in different processed forms, and the catalogue entry does not specify variety, colour, or processing.

It is used as a cooked grain or milled into flour and other food ingredients. Whole kernels may vary in colour and size; cooked texture and flavour depend on the grain and preparation. The entry should not be taken to mean a particular flour, syrup, or prepared product.
