Pearl millet (dukhun)
The staple grain of the west — ground for aseedat dukhun and thick porridges that anchor the Darfuri table.
History and culture
Where sorghum thins out, dukhun takes over: drought-hardy, iron-rich, and the taste of home for millions of western Sudanese.
Culinary uses
Aseedat dukhun, kisra blends, porridge.
