Sorghum 101
Super grain. Nutritional powerhouse. Versatile crop. Sorghum is an ancient grain that’s high in protein, rich in antioxidants and naturally gluten-free. It can be grown as a grain, forage or sweet crop, and is one of the top five cereal crops in the world.
Sorghum Sustains
The simple fact is, growing Sorghum is good for the planet. Its increased organic matter builds soil health by retaining moisture and nutrients. As the resource-conserving ingredient, it requires 30% less water than other grains to thrive. To put that in perspective, 91% of Sorghum acres receive adequate moisture through rain, resulting in 1.5 trillion gallons of irrigation water savings per year — the same amount of water that flows over Niagara Falls every three weeks.
Food, pet food, feed and energy industries can all benefit from sorghum’s ability to give more than it takes.
