sorghum
Drought-tolerant grain
Sorghum is a cereal grain native to Africa, now cultivated worldwide as food, animal feed, and for making syrup.
The plant tolerates drought better than corn or wheat, making it important in arid regions.
In the American South, sorghum syrup—boiled from the stalks—was once a common sweetener: biscuits with sorghum.
