Honey Drip is a high-yielding heirloom variety that is tolerant of hot and dry conditions. This very sweet sorghum is a popular variety for making syrup. Sorghum has a wide variety of uses and benefits. It is gluten free and contains many vitamins and minerals. It is high in fiber and proteins. The grain can be made into flour and used as a substitute for wheat, rye, and barley. Sorghum flour can be used to make a number of gluten free culinary delights from bread to beer. It can also be enjoyed as a whole grain. Sorghum canes are used to produce sorghum syrup, which is similar to molasses syrup in color and consistency. The leaves, stalks, and grain can be used as livestock feed. Sorghum is used in biofuel production. It is not difficult to grow, traditionally grown in rows similar to corn, grows quickly, tolerates heat and drought well, and will grow in most soil types.
