What is Sorgo?

Sorgo, as we like to call it, refers to sweet sorghum, a grass-like plant from the Sorghum crop family. 

Sorghum has a long and rich history. It is an ancient cereal crop that has been used worldwide for thousands of years, with evidence suggesting it had been cultivated in Southern Egypt over eight thousand years ago.

The sorghum family of crops includes four varieties: grain, forage, biomass, and sweet. It is the grain and sweet varieties that are mainly used to produce food and beverages. 

Grain sorghum comes in many shapes and sizes, such as whole grain, flaked, bran, and pearled grain.Unlike the sorghum grain crop, which is harvested for its grain, Sweet Sorghum is harvested for its stalks, and this where our Sorgo Grass Juice and syrups are made of.

Aside from its interesting history, Sorghum is also rich in nutritional properties. It has high antioxidants, protein, fiber, and chlorophyll that are beneficial to our body. 

Unless you came from the countries where Sorghum is cultivated, you may not probably familiar with it. That’s why we gather as much information as we can to introduce it and hopefully, love it too.
