With its hearty, chewy texture and delicate, neutral flavor, SHILOH FARMS Sorghum is a versatile grain with a wide variety of uses. Because it adapts well to other flavors and is naturally gluten free, sorghum is especially useful in replacing wheat products in many recipes.
Because it has a very thin hull, sorghum is typically eaten whole, meaning you get all of the nutrients of the natural whole grain. Sorghum is a valuable source of protein, fiber, iron, and magnesium and is relatively low on the glycemic index, making it a good option for diabetics.
An ancient cereal grain, sorghum is thought to have originated in Northern Africa over 8,000 years ago.
To Cook: Sort and rinse. Soak overnight using a ratio of 3 cups water to every 1 cup grain. After soaking, bring water to a boil and cook for several minutes. Reduce heat and simmer about 45-60 minutes, or until water is absorbed and grain is tender.
Suggestions:
1. Sorghum grain makes a perfect substitute for couscous, bulgur, and barley in soups and side dishes.
2. Use a hand mill or food processor to grind sorghum to the degree of fineness required (coarsely ground for a cooked cereal; finely ground for flour). Flour should be prepared fresh; if not using within a few days, store in the freezer.
3. Try popping sorghum grain! Smaller and lighter than traditional popcorn, popped sorghum has a similar flavor and light crunch.

Nov 20th 2025It's regular sorghum grain, but compared to many others, it is NOT marked gluten-free. Sorghum is gluten-free by definition, so this is probably because the same production lines are used for other products. Also, the grains we received were rather dirty and required considerable rinsing/washing prior to cooking. Grains we received from other producers were much cleaner.

Jul 3rd 2015I have been buying this for my husband who reacts to most other grains and rice. We soak the grain overnight and cook it the next day. We have been very pleased with the product and recommend it.

Jan 5th 2010I also bought this to pop, and was very disappointed. It popped a little bit, but most of it did not pop. I tried a hot air popper and stove top, but it would not pop. Perhaps there is a trick to popping it? Ruth

Nov 14th 2009I bought this sorghum grain for popcorn and it would not pop. Not with oil in a pan nor with the new air popcorn popper we bought especially for it! I bought 5 bags of it.

Apr 21st 2009I bought this to pop like popcorn, and I love it! It pops up to be a little smaller than popcorn, but has the same fun crunch - but without the nasty corn kernals that get stuck in your teeth. To pop: In a kettle/pot/pan with a tightly fitting lid, heat 1 tsp of high temperature oil or ghee to the smoking point over high heat. Then add 1/4 c whole sorghum grain, put on the cover, lower the heat, and shake kettle on the flame until the popping stops. You'll end up with some grains that don't pop, but with patience and the right temperature, most should pop! Season however you'd like - I made mine like kettle corn, adding some melted ghee, a sprinkle of xylitol, and some course sea salt. YUM!
