Sorghum- The Best Backyard Grain. Episode 21, Explosive Metabolism.

- If you have maintained a line of the shorter red seeded grain sorghum are you able to sell a small amount. I'd want to buy several hundred if possible, but would be glad to have even a few dozen seed to try. Thank you very much!
- An Indian method is to just grind the seeds hulls an all because it is more nutritious. Then use a regular sifter to get out hard chunks that didn't grind
Albo i też takie - katakumby lublin mam nadzieje że pomogłem, - I use to eat sorghum and i would cook it the same as any rice dish.
- Nice video! Sounds like it would also be a good carbon source for compost, will check out some of your other videos
- Is sorghum sudangrass the same thing?
- You ever have issues with it lodging? I've been growing flint corn for a couple years now and I always get some plants falling over when we have rain and high winds.
- Fantastic!?! Do you sell seed from the short red one!!!! Ever drink the juice raw!?!
- Is Sohrgum perennial?
- Planning to cultivate this in our farm
- What about prussic acid in sorghum? Is it a concern for human consumption?
- Very thorough video. Thanks!
- Thank you. I am fascinated with learning all I can about sorghum and have been searching a long time for information.
- Please don't mind if my input may be irrelevant to ya'll.
Where I came from in Asia, sorghum sake 高梁酒,is very expensive because it's rare. The prices double the rice sake and not many countries know how ro make this type of liquor. Taiwan makes it.
Red sorghum sake even tops all other sake in profit. It's called Daughters Red Sake 女兒紅。In countrysides during the old days, when a baby girl was born, they buried a couple of jars of red sorghum with yeast underground until the daughter grows up to be married. It's a wedding sake.
Don't know if this too boring for you but I think there is a lot of economic potential in this sorghum winery business for sushi bars, Asian restaurants and Asian exports.
- I planted one sorghum plant from Baker Creek seed I’d bought years ago. It came up strong and ended up with 3 heads full. I picked one today and just wanted to manually get the seeds to see what it was like. Fun. Pinching my thumbnails and the seed pops right out. I noticed in July there were red wasps and blue daubers all over the plant. Also ladybugs. I’m wondering if it had aphids? Anyways.. next year I’m going to grow a boatload of this stuff. It’s too easy!!! Thanks for your video!!!
- Could you help me identify? I'm from PA and I believe I have some short red wild Sorghum growing but want to be sure
- Sorghum flour is delicious for cooking breakfast cream-like , and also for making delicious cake .
- I'm pretty sure I'm going to start growing Sorghum once I own some property.
- As for me I would say I rather grow sorgum. Best plant ever for any occasions and very easy beside corn. Also sometimes bee are attracted to it for the pollens if I am not mistaken.
- Thank you for the very informative and interesting explanation of sorghum. I couldn't have found a better introduction to this plant. Gonna try it!
- Another question, how do you know when to harvest the seeds that will be viable for planting next year ? Thanks again for the video.
