Diasorgho
Sorghum is a gluten-free cereal, rich in protein and starch.
What is sorghum?
The common sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is a very common wild grass, in tropical and sub-tropical climates.
Nowadays sorghum comes back to Europe as it is a very hardy plant with very long roots going deeply into the ground to find food and grow, thus requiring then less fertilizer and water.
Uses
Used in food, sorghum is an essential source of energy, protein, vitamins and minerals and is particularly suitable for people intolerant to gluten.
Sorghum can also be used in animal feeding. It is therefore very interesting for monogastric and especially swine species.
Nutrient intake of sorghum

- Its protein content is important.
- It contains many minerals and especially phosphorus.
- It is also rich in vitamins, mainly from the PP.
