Do you remember the straw brooms from the past (e.g., at the barber shop)? For centuries, in Eastern Europe and (later) in the US, these brooms have been made from Sorghum. Originally, people also harvested the seeds of this grass for baking! Height 1.5 - 2m. Derived from the original broom corn and thus elegantly loose in shape, this mixture features black, red, purple, brown, and yellow stalks.
