Sorghum as a USAID Commodity and Future Superfood
The cereal grain sorghum is identified as a major component of USAID food aid, often found in bags destined for Africa. While primarily used for animal feed or ethanol in the United States, sorghum is a staple for human consumption in other parts of the world, often prepared as a gruel. A prediction is made that sorghum will soon be marketed as a "superfood" in the West, potentially paired with other trends like insect-based proteins, despite its long cooking time.
