haha. After typing and snacking, paused, looked at keyboard..... uh oh, an evidence trail. Neatness in personal habits is not a core strength of mine ;-)
I tried multiple times but never popped and it always burned... might have to try again... or just stick to popcorn that I have mastered and tastes amazing. 🍿
Organic whole grain sorghum or sorghum I bought at an India grocery market (grown in India, organic) both popped for me - not all of it pops but all of it gets toasted crunchy and can be eaten. I grew up with the oil in saucepan method and that is the only way I've tried the sorghum.
Medium high heat - the oil has to be quite hot but not smoking/not burnt. If you know popcorn making by that method, the sorghum should work the same, just tinier puffs and not as high a percentage fully pops. (I really enjoyed it. I hadn't made any in quite a while so it was a bit of a treat for me)
Thanx for the laffs, Jen...I needed that!
Great tip, thank you!
1. Never have even seen sorghum for sale, will look for some!
2. LOVE the keyboard photo & scientific analysis thereof!

That's how I did it, too.. will try again.
