OliveNation Sorghum (popping) is a versatile, nutritious whole grain that is ideal for snacking, cereal, topping, mixes, and as a savory side. These tiny seeds can be popped like popcorn, or cooked for a soft, tender texture. Our all-natural popping sorghum has a slightly sweet, nutty taste that balances with both sweet and savory flavor profiles. Try this versatile whole grain as a fun alternative to popcorn for snacking, in trail mixes, or with milk as a breakfast cereal. Cook popping sorghum in water or stock for a delicious, naturally gluten free substitute for pasta or pilaf or in grain bowls and cold salads. When popped, the tiny kernels are smaller than popcorn and make a great topping or mix-in for baked treats like breakfast and nutritional bars, granola, cookies, brownies, and no-bake desserts.

How to Pop Sorghum Grain Like Popcorn:

When popping Sorghum Grain, keep in mind that approximately two-thirds of the kernels will pop, but even the un-popped kernels are edible. Add 1 teaspoon of a high heat oil (such as canola, coconut, or avocado), then add 1 cup Sorghum Grain in a single layer. Cover saucepan and pop over high heat. Flavor or season popped Sorghum as you would popcorn. Try sprinkling on cinnamon and sugar, salt, grated cheese, or other favorite topping. Sorghum Grain pops smaller than popcorn. Popped sorghum grains can be used as a breakfast cereal, and also make a great topper for salads and soups.

Sorghum Grain Cooking Instructions for Cereal and Sides:

Rinse 1 cup sorghum grain. Place rinsed kernels and 4 cups water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes.
