What does SORGO mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A variety of sorghum grown mainly for the sweet juice in its stalks, used to make syrup, sugar and animal fodder.
Sorgo differs from grain sorghum in that farmers value it chiefly for the juice pressed from its stems rather than for the seed heads, and that juice is boiled down into a thick amber syrup once common on American farms. The crop tolerates dry conditions well, which made it popular in regions too hot or too poor in rainfall for sugarcane. Livestock also graze on the leftover stalks and leaves after the juice has been pressed out.
How SORGO is used
