Sorghum is an ancient cereal grain and was collected 8,000 years ago in Southern Egypt. It was domesticated in Ethiopia and moved throughout all of Africa, where it remains an important cereal grain. It most probably arrived in the Americas with slave traders from Africa in the 19th century. It is high in antioxidants and contains minerals and a range of B vitamins. Sorghum has an edible hull so it is commonly eaten with all its outer layers, thereby retaining most of its nutrients.
