Idaho Amber Sorghum

New for 2025 - Perhaps you already know sorghum as a grain crop, but did you know it's also a source of syrup? The mature stalks can be crushed and the juice simmered down into molasses-like syrup. Basically northern sugar cane! This variety is very early maturing, we harvested their seeds in early September from a an early June transplant. Harvest for syrup would be a little bit earlier. The seeds have tight hulls, and are better suited for chickens than for humans. 100 seeds

We didn't get organized to do a proper syrup boil this year, but we want to test it out next season. We munched on many a sweet juicy stalk though (I'm a fan of the chomp and twist technique).
