Sorghum is a Tunisian seed we grew up eating it in breakfast with ginger powder and sesame halva,in Ramadan we make it for our guests as a cream with hazelnut ❤🇹🇳🇹🇳🇹🇳🇹🇳

[@irenemanzura3233]

That sounds good❤

[@Amapesas]

@bluenebulosa: Sorghum is not a Tunisian seed, it originated from eastern Africa and was domesticated by the early population of the now Ethiopia and Sudan, and partly also found later in Egypt. It first of all spread throughout eastern Africa before the rest of Africa both towards the horn and the wieder sub-saharan part of Africa.

In India we eat millets and sorghum is one of those! It’s been eaten for centuries!!

[@ravinunna1168]

Sorghum used to be the staple food in most parts of India until 1930~1940. Later Wheat and White Rice took it over. Since then people stated gaing wieght, diabetics and other health issues. Now with lots of Health issues people are going back to Sorghum and Millets. My grandpa used to tell me that White Rice was consumed only on festivels and on special events. Hardly 10 to 15 times a year those days. Sorghum was their everyday food with various Vegetable curries as most India do not prefer to eat meat on daily basis due to religious reasons.

In large hog growing areas, sorghum is the best feed choice. Mexico imports a large part of the Texas crop. The crop yield for sorghum is about 80% of corn. But in arid conditions it preforms well. Texas and Kansas produce about 300 million bushels. When used to make ethanol the distillers grain makes a high protein feed.

Sorghum is medium high in oxalate content, which can be as damaging as lectins. I wish Dr. Gundry would review both oxalate and lectin content when discussing diet choices. You can learn all about oxalates from Sally K. Norton, an amazing nutrition expert.

My grandparents grew sorghum on their farm. Most of the surrounding farmers grew sorghum as well. I don't know why they stopped.

Governments subsidized corn and soy, small farms couldn't compete with large agri-corps. This began in the late 70s. We lost a family farm, it makes me so sad to think of it. But that's the bigger picture that led to the loss of the family farms. from Canada (where the subsidies are for wheat and canola and dairy oh, and poultry)
