Uses of Sorghum

The uses of sorghum as food are:

1. Cooked as rice, although it takes longer cooking time and more water. In Palawan, it is

cooked with rice, which they call “hisa.”

2. Could be made into flour, though it needs more water when preparing the dough.

3. Could be made into chocolate farridge, boiled and mixed with grated coconut and sugar,

native cabe, and buchi (fried dough with sweetened mungbean).

Uses of Banana (from Belgium)

In the Philippines where banana is grown abundantly, there are places, like Manila, where

because of prohibitive price, bananas get rotten and thrown into waste. In the provinces,

where there is oversupply, bananas are fed to the hogs.
