Super grain. Nutritional powerhouse. Versatile crop. Sorghum is an ancient grain and pro-planet protein source that’s packed full of nutrients. Sorghum is truly a versatile crop that can be grown as a grain, forage or sweet crop. Sorghum is one of the top five cereal crops in the world. The United States is the world’s largest producer of grain sorghum, having produced 373 million bushels in 2020.
From grain, forage, biomass and sweet sorghum, there are plenty of uses from all around the world.
The origin and early domestication of sorghum took place in northeastern Africa. The earliest known record of sorghum comes from an archeological dig at Nabta Playa, near the Egyptian-Sudanese border, dated 8,000 B.C. Sorghum spread throughout Africa and along the way adapted to a wide range of environments from the highlands of Ethiopia to the semi-arid Sahel.
The development and spread of five different races of sorghum can, in many cases, be attributed to the movement of various tribal groups in Africa. Sorghum then spread to India and China and eventually worked its way into Australia. The first known record of sorghum in the United States comes from Ben Franklin in 1757 who wrote about its application in producing brooms.

We have to totally release the idea that it belongs to us in order to give it to the world , we see only channels of God for that purpose and when we release personal ownership of vendetta against each other, then then non of our generations will ever lack in anyway possible , that will be the legacy that you want to be associated with
[12/02, 6:31 am] Ademola Okubena: Btw the seeds of the sorghum dates back 8 thousand yrs ago , when extraterrestrial beings came to this planet and resided in ancient Egypt and Introduced agriculture and gave man and woman grains and seeds to propagate the earth for food and medicine.
