Sorghum

Molasses-yielding grass

Sorghum is a cereal grain native to Africa, cultivated for food, animal feed, and biofuel.

The plant grows tall with broad leaves and dense seed clusters.

In the American South, sorghum often refers to a thick syrup made from the plant's stalks, used as a sweetener: sorghum and biscuits for breakfast.
