Description

Similar in appearance to popcorn, the secret to popped sorghum is working in small batches. Don’t forget to top with delicious seasonings, too.

  • 2 tsp (10 ml) coconut oil

  • 1/4 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp coconut sugar
  • 2-3 tsp fresh lime juice

  1. Place ⅛ cup of the sorghum grain into a paper bag, folding down top. Microwave for 2 to 3 minutes. transfer popped sorghum and remaining uncooked grains into a medium bowl. Repeat 3 more times for an ⅛ cup at a time. This will ensure you get a higher number of grains to pop.
  2. In a smaill bowl, combine, chili powder, cumin, salt, and coconut sugar.
  3. In a medium saucepan, place coconut oil. Bring to medium heat, and once oil is melted, add pepitas and pecans and toast for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and add the lime juice and half of the spice mixture. Stir to coat.
