Sorghum
$100.00
Sorghum is native to Africa with many cultivated forms,[8] is an important crop worldwide, used for food (in the form of grain or sorghum syrup), animal fodder, and the production of alcoholic beverages, and biofuels. Sorghum grains are one of the highest food sources of 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.
