I was confused, as usual. You appear to be talking about a liquid called sorghum. The only sorghum I know is a grain. Here it is used, in human food and drink contexts, like rice in porridges (congee) and as the main grain in baijiu, China's strong liquor. It is also used in animal feed and in biofuels.
But I learn that in the US it is a molasses-like substance made from a sorghum syrup. Hmmm.
Red Sorghum is a great movie (and book) set largely in a sorghum distillery.
