Mennonite Sweet Cane Sorghum
(Sorghum bicolor) Heirloom cane sorghum grown by the Mennonite community of Jamesport, Missouri. 7-9 foot tall stalks are traditionally pressed to release a sugary, green juice that is then strained and cooked down into a thick, light-colored syrup. Traditionally served on pancakes or buttered biscuits. Amber-colored seed can also be ground into a gluten-free flour for making pancakes or other baked goods. 105 days to harvest.
CULTURE: After danger of frost has passed, sow seeds 4" apart, 1/2" deep in rows 30" apart. Under ideal conditions, germination will occur in 7-10 days. Once seedlings are established, thin to one plant every 8".
