Popped Sorghum

Name: Popped Sorghum
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients: 2 Tbsp canola oil (or other cooking oil); ¼ cup whole grain sorghum; Salt, to taste

Like popcorn, sorghum is a whole grain that can be popped into a delicious and nutritious snack, but unlike the traditional movie treat, this Indian grain pops into teeny tiny kernels. It has a slightly nutty taste and is packed with beneficial nutrients like plant-based protein, iron and zinc.

Calories: 200per serving
Servings: 2people

Ingredients

2 Tbsp canola oil (or other cooking oil)
¼ cup whole grain sorghum
Salt, to taste

Instructions

Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add sorghum grains. Protecting your skin with an oven mitt, constantly stir sorghum with a heat-resistant spoon until roughly 75% of the grains are popped (see note), about 2-4 minutes.
Remove popped sorghum from heat and season to taste with salt. Serve warm or cool and store in an airtight container.
