Medium-size round grain with a mild, lightly sweet taste that melds well with other flavours. Originated in Africa; today it is the fifth most important cereal crop in the world. Highly versatile—sorghum can be extruded, flaked, popped, formulated into baked goods and even brewed into beer.

Sorghum is a relative of sugarcane. It’s tender and adds a mild sweetness, but is rarely used alone.
