Welcome

There's much to see here. So, take your time, look around, and learn all there is to know about sweet sorghum production and processing. We hope you enjoy our site and please contact any of the National Executive Officers listed below or any of the Board Members with any questions about sweet sorghum.

Is Sorghum Syrup Molasses?

NO, is the answer. That being said, many people in the south call Sorghum Syrup “sorghum molasses”, so the name sticks. Sorghum Syrup is made by cooking the juice extracted from the sorghum plant. Molasses is the byproduct from making table sugar from sugarcane or sugar beets.
