Question
Which crop, known for its cultivation in semi-arid regions and often referred to as a 'camel crop' due to its drought resistance, has a relatively low lysine content but is rich in leucine, a crucial amino acid for human nutrition?
Solution
Sorghum is often called the 'camel crop' due to its ability to withstand drought. While it is rich in leucine, it is relatively low in lysine, making it less ideal for balanced human nutrition without supplementation.
