What Is This Millet?

A versatile traditional grain for everyday Indian cooking

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is widely known as Jowar in India and is also identified as Cholam in parts of South India. It is sold as whole grain, flour, flakes and prepared mixes, with different cooking methods for each form.
Jowar is used in regional dishes including roti, dosa, upma, puttu, porridge and cooked-grain preparations. White Sorghum has a relatively mild flavour, but texture and cooking behaviour depend on the product form.

Sorghum / Jowar FAQs

Common questions

Yes. Jowar is the widely used Indian name for Sorghum. The grain may also be called Cholam, Jola or Jonnalu in regional languages.

Cholam (ചോളം) is commonly used for Sorghum, though the word may be used broadly in some contexts. Confirm the exact grain using the product label.

White Sorghum refers to Sorghum varieties with pale or white-coloured grain. Product colour and appearance can vary naturally, so refer to the All Days pack for exact identification.

Jowar generally has a mild, slightly earthy flavour. Its final taste and texture depend on whether whole grain, flour or a prepared mix is used.

Not in every recipe. Jowar and wheat behave differently, so use a recipe developed for Jowar or a tested flour blend instead of making an automatic one-to-one substitution.

Cultivated grain Sorghum is generally identified as Sorghum bicolor. Confirm the exact product documentation before publishing species-level information.

Keep the product tightly sealed in a clean, dry container away from heat, moisture and sunlight. Follow the storage directions and best-before date printed on the pack.
