Durra is a cereal grass, Sorghum bicolor, extensively cultivated in tropical and semi-tropical countries, where the grain, made into bread, forms an important article of diet.

In non-Arabic-speaking countries it is known by other names, such as Indian millet, African millet, pearl millet, Guinea corn and Kaffir corn. In India it is called jowari, also spelled jowaree, jawari, etc..
