Sorghum bicolor 'Colored Upright' Mixed

The grain of the future! Just read the following description… In Africa, this crop has been cultivated since 3000 BC (that's 5000 years!), known in America since the 17th century (brought by black slaves), and is now the 5th most important crop in the world! A summary of its many properties and uses: the grain is gluten-free (!), detoxifying (antioxidant), you can bake it, pop it, ferment it into malt (then acts as a probiotic), use it as grits or couscous, and process it into molasses or sugar syrup. Furthermore, in Africa, the grain is used for beer production and the straw for house building and packaging (cardboard). Convinced? This tillering grass forms stalks in red, gold, black, and chestnut red with many intermediate colors. The enormous stems grow to about 200-250 cm high, and the plant roots deeply, which is good for soil structure.
