— Georgie Collis

Answer:

So sorghum is big on the is a major component of diets in the African continent and sorghum came over in the unfortunate slave trade and was part a big part of Southern Cuisine because of that still is sort of syrup is absolutely delicious. You can find it online. There's a number of good sources I would look for now if you can try and find a black owned business that's doing that just respecting that Heritage. I believe that that is a great thing to do at all times to try and respect the heritage of the products that you are using but it is absolutely delicious. It has a very deep rich flavor.

So, there you go.
