Sorghum

A traditional African crop, often called “milo” in Europe and America, sorghum is often relegated to animal feed and not much attention is paid to its food value. We carry a number of really interesting varieties that can be used for crafts, in making sugar, and as a cereal grain.

Sorghum is a tall-growing grain crop with heads often exceeding 3m in height. It was refined in the Americas where they had specific strains to fulfil the needs of a sugar and/or syrup substitute.

We are very fortunate to have these varieties in our collection for you to experiment with.
