I find it so interesting how it puts down stabilizing roots. Corn does it, but not to the extent of this sorghum we grew. It'd drop roots from a foot or two up

I find it so interesting how it puts down stabilizing roots. Corn does it, but not to the extent of this sorghum we grew. It'd drop roots from a foot or two up the stalk. And it grows so fast and so tall you can pretty easily "watch" it grow just by looking at it every day. I wasn't aware of sorghum molasses either, but apparently it was the primary source of sugar for much of the southern US for a long time. It's not like cane molasses, it has a much richer taste and is apparently good for you in moderation. Has some minerals and compounds that are hard to find in other foods.
