One-year sorghum Sorghum is sown indoors from mid-March at a temperature of 15-18 ° C. In mid-May, the plants are planted in the ground in a sunny position. In summer, sorghum forms golden seeds, which turn black during maturation.
This grain crop should be grown in light, dry, but fertile and warm soils. It is adapted to drought because a well-developed root system draws water from the depths of the soil. Sorghum is also disease and pest resistant.
The sorghum shoots reach a height of 50-80 cm.After drying, they are used as a material for making brooms, the leaves are processed into animal feed, and the grains are made into flour and groats. Foods prepared with sorghum are suitable for people with celiac disease because, like rice, corn, millet and buckwheat, they do not contain gluten.
