Sorghum (Jowar)
Sorghum (Jowar): –
Sorghum, commonly known as Jowar in India, is a nutrient-rich, gluten-free cereal grain that has been cultivated for centuries across arid and semi-arid regions. It is a drought-tolerant crop that thrives in hot climates and poor soil conditions, making it a vital food and fodder crop in many parts of the world. India is one of the largest producers of sorghum, with key growing regions including Maharashtra, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Andhra Pradesh.
At Godhani International, we supply high-quality, export-grade Sorghum that is ideal for both human consumption and animal feed. Our sorghum is cleaned, graded, and packaged using advanced processing units to ensure superior purity, low moisture, and long shelf life.
Sorghum comes in various varieties and colors—white, red, and yellow being the most common—each suited for different end uses including flour milling, brewing, food processing, and livestock feeding.
Key Benefits:
-
Nutritional Powerhouse: Sorghum is rich in complex carbohydrates, dietary fiber, protein, and essential micronutrients such as iron, magnesium, and B-vitamins. Its slow-digesting starch makes it an excellent grain for diabetics and health-conscious consumers.
-
Gluten-Free & Whole Grain: Jowar is naturally gluten-free and high in antioxidants. It serves as an ideal wheat alternative for individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease.
-
Versatile Usage: Sorghum’s versatility spans multiple sectors. It can be used for making traditional flatbreads (rotis), porridge, breakfast cereals, malted beverages, beer (in African and Asian countries), and livestock feed. It is also used industrially in the production of biofuels and biodegradable packaging.
-
Sustainable Crop: Due to its low water requirement and high heat resistance, sorghum is a sustainable agricultural choice that supports climate-resilient farming and food security in arid regions.
