Sorghum seeds are the seeds of the sorghum plant, a versatile and drought-resistant cereal grain. They are typically small, round, and can vary in color from white to red to brown, depending on the variety. Sorghum is known for its ability to thrive in arid conditions, making it a popular choice in regions with limited rainfall. These seeds are primarily used for grain production, animal feed, and as a source of biofuel.
