Bob's Red Mill 2531C244 Whole Grain Sorghum 24 Ounce

Directions were easy to follow and easy. I used this in place of rice for a dish and it was tasty with added nutritional value

I usually try to buy items with Prime shipping but was looking for a single pack to try for popping after reading about the benefits of sorghum. This bag arrived well packaged in just 2 days and shipping wasn't unreasonable (have seen bags of similar size of other foodstuffs costing about $5.00 per bag but shipping of $11.00 so this seemed ok to me & was surprised by how quickly it arrived. I think I use the same brand of steel cut oats and their products seem to be great quality. I put what wouldn't fit in my storage container into a paper bag, folded over top several times and placed upside down on folded edge in the microwave, per instructions for microwave popping printed on the bag...set for 2 minutes on high and stopped a few seconds short of that time. I thought it was starting to smell a little burnt (have read should pop in small batches) but it wasn't so could have popped longer to reduce unpopped pieces. I had no problem hearing it pop over the sound of the microwave (once it gets going, the popping really takes off.). Like eating mini popcorn with slightly nuttier flavor...even my husband, who is very picky and not prone to trying new things kept asking for more. Most unpopped pieces are edible but some are harder than others so if you are worried about your teeth, I'd toss them. I ate quite a few though. I saw in some reviews that some air poppers cause the sorghum pieces to fly out...I don't have one but based on that that if popping you do fold bag top securely (like 3 folds) and heed instructions to put fold on bottom in microwave...could see the pressure that builds up in bag during popping possibly causing bag to open if only folded over once...not sure, just something to consider. Enjoy! I will buy again...couldn't find sorghum locally yet. This bag should last a while since I only plan to use for popping.

I love popcorn, but it’s become too difficult to digest, so after trying sorghum that came popped, which was very delicious, I decided to try popping it myself. On my first try, I used the amount of oil I use for popcorn, but it was way too much. At the end of the cooking time, my little sorghum pops were swimming in oil. Luckily, they were still tasty after I rescued them. The unpopped ones were good, too, and a lot less work to eat than unpopped popcorn. At that point, I looked on the internet for instructions. Some sites said to add a little water to the sorghum before popping. I also read to use 2 tablespoons of oil - they suggested coconut or ghee - per 1/3 cup. I tried both of those suggestions, but didn’t get the sorghum to pop more. I also read that some kinds of sorghum pop better than others. I thought maybe this brand wasn’t really for popping, but, since the bag mentions preparing it that way, I’m assuming that it is. I’m definitely going to keep trying because sorghum has a wonderful sweet, nutty taste. I think I may like it better than popcorn! Now if I could just get this to pop… Until then, 4 stars. If it doesn’t work, I guess I’ll try to find something described as “popping sorghum.” Good luck with yours! Popping tips appreciated!

It's a marvelous grain - I wrote a previous review on the 4 pack - so save yourself some more money and buy it 4 bags at a time! Just place them in your freezer if you won't be using it all for months. But you may enjoy it so much, you won't need to do that. It's one of Dr. Gundry's (book Plant Paradox is worth the read & practice!!!) favorite grains and like he says it NEVER gets mushy. It's a great replacement for all other grains such as the over used rice & wheat varieties and minus the lectins (READ THE BOOK!). Prior to this I thought sorghum was just a not so popular dark syrup that country folks used (it's ok, I can say this, I'm country folk!!). It's not easily found in North GA (tried Sprouts, Kroger, Walmart, Ingles - refuse to drive 51 miles OW to Whole Foods) and on line neither Thrive or VitaCost had it. So Thank you again, Amazon for the wonderful variety & the speedy service. What did we do without you?

Good value

I was about ready to write a bad review of this. I tried popping this sorghum in so many different ways, following so many different recipes, and all I was getting was a few popped kernels and a bunch of burnt pans and paper bags. The recipe that finally worked was this: heatabout 2 tbsp oil on the stove on HIGH until it's shimmering but not smoking. The oil needs to be hot BEFORE you put the kernels in or they just "toast" (and eventually just become a burnt lump). Add a SMALL amount of sorghum kernels - I suggest no more than 1/4 cup - and remove the pan from the heat for about 1 minute. DO NOT put a lid on the pot at any point during this process! Turn the heat down to medium and put the pot back on, then stir frequently until most of the sorghum has popped. (It won't all pop - that's just the way it is. But every time I've done it this way, I get a good yield.) If youre having trouble with the sorghum burning, you can move the pot on and off the heat, allowing it to pop off the heat for awhile and then setting it back on and letting it heat up and start popping again. This sounds like a lot of work, but it really isn't too bad. It takes me less than 5 minutes. And it takes way less time than scouring every pan in the house because they all have burnt sorghum kernels on the bottom. Trust me ;)

Delicious quality gluten free whole grain product. Taste and texture are reminiscent of buckwheat, but the flavour is milder. Works great with hemp seeds as an alternative to bulgur in tabouleh... A great recipe can be found in the oh she glows everyday cookbook. There's also a recipe included on the package for a curried carrot and sorghum salad which looks delicious, but which I have yet to try.

Fast delivery. Fresh and it tastes great!

I like the taste of the sorghum. And I used it to make salad and porridge.

I was looking for a gut healthy alternative to quinoa and rice, and Dr Steven Gundry of "The Plant Paradox" recommended Sorghum instead. It cooks very nicely in a pressure cooker (just make sure to add lots of liquid as they absorb liquid very easily). I used a quality vegetable stock and it came out very nice. It looks almost identical to pearl couscous.

This is such a great grain to try and add variety to one's grain meals and choices. Bob's Red Mill products have always been consistently good, no matter what I got, and the same case applied to this product. Do note that sorghum benefits greatly from being soaked the night before, as it takes longer to cook to have a good texture. So with overnight soaking, you can get it well-cooked in less than 45 minutes, otherwise, it is over an hour for the best texture.
