Kaffir corn is a popular crop plant that is grown for its edible grains and fodder in many parts of Africa. The plant is also known as Sorghum bicolor or simply sorghum, and it is a member of the grass family. There are several other synonyms for kaffir corn, including durra, jowar, milo, and guinea corn. Each synonym refers to a specific variety of sorghum that differs slightly in its seed size, color, and taste. In many cultures, kaffir corn is used to make bread, porridge, beer, and other food and beverage products. Its high nutritional value and drought resistance make it a valuable crop in areas where water is scarce.
