Sugar sorghum is a type of sorghum that has high sugar content and is primarily grown to produce syrup or molasses. This crop goes by several other names, depending on the location and use. In some areas, it's known as sweet sorghum, while in others, it's called cane sorghum or molasses sorghum. There are also several regional names, such as West Indies Guinea corn or African millet. However, because of its distinct sweetness and use for syrups and molasses, sugar sorghum is the most commonly recognized term. No matter the name, this versatile crop is an essential component of regional cuisine and a valuable source of income for farmers worldwide.
