| Sorghum is a safe, old world grain (sorghum bicolor) for
those allergic to wheat or gluten, several varieties of which are widely
cultivated as grain and forage or as a source of syrup. In fact, beer made from
sorghum has a long and established international history. The reason for the
crop’s popularity abroad is a result of the large quantities of sorghum
produced and consumed in Africa (where the beer is specifically available in
many countries). Sorghum is also cultivated in Southern Europe, Central America
and Southern Asia. |
