Milos

/ˈmiːloʊz/ noun

Definition

Plural of milo, a type of grain sorghum used as a cereal or animal feed.

Etymology

From Afrikaans 'milo,' possibly from African language origins (Bantu). The grain is widely grown in Africa and was brought to other continents.

Kelly Says

Milo is an ancient grain that thrives in droughts where wheat would fail—it's a climate-resilient crop that's becoming increasingly important as farming needs to adapt to climate change.
