Red Sorghum Seeds – Red Jowar for Traditional Cooking

Red Sorghum Seeds, also known as red jowar, are whole sorghum grains with a naturally earthy flavour and firm, chewy texture when cooked. Sorghum is an important traditional cereal in parts of India and Africa, where it has long been used as both a whole grain and milled into flour for breads, porridges and other staple foods.

Red sorghum is particularly versatile in the kitchen. The whole grain can be boiled and served much like rice, incorporated into savoury grain dishes, or ground into flour for traditional flatbreads. Sorghum is also used for porridges, steamed and boiled foods, and popped grain snacks across different culinary traditions.
