Instructions
Microwave Method
- Pour a 1/2 cup of Sorghum into a paper bag (I used a brown paper lunch sack). Coat the grain with 2-3 teaspoons of oil and roll the top of the bag to close it.
- Microwave at 50% power for 1-2 minutes, stopping when the popping slows down.
- Remove the bag from the microwave and salt to taste. Pour into a serving bowl and enjoy!
Stovetop Method
- In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat.
- Add the Sorghum and cover the pot with a lid (a glass lid is ideal).
- Swirl the pan to coat the grain in the oil.
- After 30 seconds, carefully lift the lid to see if the grains are still popping. Once the popping slows down, remove the pot from the heat and season with salt.
Notes
- Note: 1/3 of the grains may not pop. This is normal, and the grains can be eaten or discarded.
