 Made tasty popcornDec 23, 2008
By S. Garner
I purchased this to make "popcorn", which I saw on Andrew Zimmern's Bizarre Foods (Ethiopia episode, season three). I placed a small pot with a lid on medium-high heat with some canola oil. I added the sorghum, and then kept the kernels moving. Amazingly, they actually started popping. I half-expected them to simply burn, but they popped quite nicely. Sorghum kernels are very small, producing a miniature "popcorn" that is slightly larger than an unpopped popcorn kernel. Popped sorghum has a heavier, fuller taste than regular popcorn. Best of all, there are no kernel husks in the end result... just little fluffy popped sorghum. I experimented with popping different quantities and found that keeping the amount limited works best. With larger quantities, a significant number of the kernels did not pop. However, this wasn't all that bad... as the unpopped sorghum kernels were very delicious as well, not at all hard or crunchy. The unpopped kernels had a nice toasted flavor, a lot like corn nuts.
Sorghum is one of those "wonder grains", that is used for everything from making sugar, molasses, animal feed, alcohol and biofuel. But, I now know that it makes a nice popcorn as well.

 no reactionsJan 26, 2010
By Jonah's Mom
As with all bulk style grain purchases I was concerned about gluten cross-contamination. We had no problems with this product.

Key to poppingSep 11, 2012
By Alexander J. Keenan
The key to any popping is high temperture oil!!!
I have puffed many types of noodles and popped many kinds of seeds.
You need the right oil. Google high temp cooking oil and get it to the point where it is starting to smoke just a little.
At that point you put in the grain and POP it goes.

By A. Grow
I tried to pop them l;ike pop corn, but I think I had the heat on too high and scorched them instead, Will try again with a slow and steady heat.

Pops up nicelyDec 24, 2012
By Liz
It took some trial and error to get this right, even after watching the videos.
We ended up using oil in a stock pot, leaving it uncovered. We popped it at a higher temp than popcorn - lower temps and covering it made it take too long to pop, and it burned.
Pops up roughly 80%.
