sorghums
African cereal plants
Sorghums is the plural of sorghum, a cereal grain widely cultivated in warm climates for food, animal feed, and syrup production.
The plant tolerates drought better than corn, making it important in arid regions: The farmer rotated between sorghums and millet.
Different sorghums serve different purposes—grain sorghums for flour, sweet sorghums for syrup.
