Food's Best
Kept Secret

Sorghum is a non-GMO, gluten-free, protein-packed and American-grown ancient grain, and you’ve probably never even heard of it… until now.

What is Sorghum?

Sorghum is an ancient whole grain—think quinoa but with more protein, fiber, iron and a whole bunch of other goodness in each serving. The grains look a bit like couscous and have a nutty flavor and chewy texture.

It’s one of the top five cereal crops in the world, and the United States is the world’s largest producer of sorghum. But, we know what you’re thinking. If sorghum is that popular world-wide, then why doesn’t anyone know about it?

The truth is, sorghum is often used as a food ingredient and you’ve probably already been eating it. Many of the products labeled “non-GMO,” “gluten-free,” or “ancient grains” that fly off the shelves contain sorghum because it’s versatile, nutritious, and environmentally-friendly.

Bragging Rights

When compared to other grains, well…there’s just nothing that compares to sorghum’s nutritional value.

SUPER SUSTAINABLE

Conserving water and improving soil health are essential for ensuring a safe, reliable food source for both current and future generations. Sorghum is one of the most sustainable crops because it’s incredibly resistant to heat and drought, helps reduce soil erosion, improves soil health, and conserves wildlife.

It’s definitely not called the Resource Conserving Crop™ for nothing.

91% of sorghum acres are rain fed, which results in 1.5 trillion gallons of irrigation water savings per year.
Sorghum uses 30% less water than comparable grains, which is an annual savings so significant, it could supply the water usage of over 16 million homes.
WATER SAVINGS
Sorghum stalks left standing in the field after harvest add nutrients back into the soil, break up soil compaction, and provide cover to prevent against and reduce effects of wind erosion.
Sorghum farmers’ use of conservation tillage methods can reduce soil erosion by more than 75%.
Soil Health
Sorghum improves air quality by removing carbon from the atmosphere and safely storing it in the soil.
Air Quality
Sorghum stalks provide critical habitats and ideal cover for pheasants and quail during the winter. Sorghum also provides food in the form of residual grain.
