Everything you ever wanted to know about popped sorghum — the grain behind the crunch.
What Is Popped Sorghum?
Popped sorghum is whole-grain sorghum that's been heat-popped like popcorn.

Popcorn wins on availability and nostalgia; sorghum wins on no teeth mess, bite-sized snackability, and a cleaner finish.
