Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Please Note: This listing is for White Popping Sorghum Seeds for planting! After you plant, grow, and harvest your crop, you should have plenty of seed for popping, and enough seeds for planting again next season! White Popping Sorghum is a sun-loving, drought-tolerant plant that grows 8-10 feet tall, maturing in about 120 days. The seed heads can also be harvested while still tender in the milk stage and roasted or parched, like sweet corn, or the heads can be allowed to fully ripen and threshed as grain for popping or grinding into flour. After threshing, the broom tops can be tied together to make a broom or used in dry flower arrangements or other decorative applications. Sorghum is an ancient food crop of the Middle East, Africa, India, China, and Mexico. There are many varieties of sorghum. White Popping Sorghum is a variety that is grown for its unique use as a popping grain, like popcorn, and also as a source of nutritious flour for baking. It has a delicious nutty flavor. You may have seen it on Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern in Ethiopia. This grain has more protein, calcium, iron, Vitamin A, and more B vitamins than rice. It is also rich in complex carbohydrates and fiber, and is gluten-free. It is higher in protein than corn. It can also be cooked like rice into a delicious pilaf, added to casseroles and stews, or even stir-fried like rice. The Tarahumara Indians of Mexico also mix it with chia seed and pinole and bake into “Warrior’s Bread”, or “Runner’s Bread”.
