Sorghum / Jwari is a genus of about 25 species of flowering plants in the grass family (Poaceae). Some of these species are grown as cereals for human consumption and some in pastures for animals. One species is grown for grain, while many others are used as fodder plants, either cultivated in warm climates worldwide or naturalized in pasture lands.

Scientific name: Sorghum

Family: Poaceae

Rank: Genus

Uses 

The grains are edible and nutritious. It can be eaten raw when young and milky, but has to be boiled when older.

One species, Sorghum bicolor, native to Africa with many cultivated forms,^[13] is an important crop worldwide, used for food (in the form of grain or sorghum syrup), animal fodder, the production of alcoholic beverages, and biofuels. Sorghum's cultivation has been linked by archeological research back to ancient Sudan around 6,000 to 7,000 BP.

All sorghums contain phenolic acids, and most contain flavonoids. Sorghum grains are one of the highest food sources of the flavonoid proanthocyanidin.Total phenol content (in both phenolic acids and flavonoids) is correlated with antioxidant activity.^] Antioxidant activity is high in sorghums having dark pericarp and pigmented testa. The antioxidant activity of sorghum may explain the reduced incidence of certain cancers in populations consuming sorghum.

In India Sorghum (Jowar) is dailyfood. Paratha and Roti is made by Jowar flour.

Role in global economy

Global demand for sorghum increased dramatically between 2013 and 2015, when China began purchasing US sorghum crops to use as livestock feed as a substitute for domestically grown corn. China purchased around $1 billion worth of American sorghum per year until April 2018, when China imposed retaliatory duties on American sorghum as part of the trade war between the two countries
