Sorghum is an old World cereal grain that belongs to the grass family Poaceae. It’s also native to warm regions of the world and is a major source grains. Sorghum or jowar is the “new quinoa” for its gluten free and whole grain goodness. In English it is named as Sorghum and in India it is Jowar which is a staple food item.
