Wow! Those turned out bigger than I thought they would! I need to consider growing sorghum, I love its versatility and what a great way for us to make the most of our limited space. Thank you for this valuable information Zac!

[@RainCountryHomestead]

Ok, I got interrupted while watching this so missed and had to turn the volume down (Mr. Rain was on the phone) the part where that popcorn wasn't the same thing as the sorghum "popcorn" Hahaha! Either way, I am still very impressed with how versatile this plant is

[@laura-annstewart4920]

Good to know I want to grow sorghum for my chickens . My mom however is allergic to corn and misses popcorn so this would be a great alternative

[@mikecrook8434]

So, why not pop the sorghum with the "popcorn" popper?

[@ChrisBlohn]

And that song will be stuck in my head all day now.

[@lharchmage6908]

My great uncle used a tumble polisher to remove the hull the type used for polishing brass.

[@Screamingpinesfarm]

Thanks I heard you could make popcorn out of sorghum never seen it done.I live in northern MN and a person that lives about 5 miles from me has grown it for years.They gave me a bunch of seeds so now i have the seed for my climate to try and grow in 2019.Im in zone 4 sliding to zone 3.

[@lacyhay6502]

That is awesome!!! They are cute and little. Thanks for sharing!

[@capecyn]

I wonder if you could put this in homemade chocolate along the lines of a Nestle's Crunch bar???

[@sfetterly6200]

Very very interesting!!!! I've been considering raising livestock again using 50% or more fodder. Zach do you think these seeds would be cheap enough to add with the cheapest of grains and legumes to produce a top notch fodder???

[@nicholasnapier2684]

I will have to attest that sorghum grows really fast I have some growing down here in Florida I agree with the fact that can be used with chicken feed as well talk about something you can keep around forever and never have to worry about getting seeds from anywhere else has multiple purposes as you're saying the video you're the reason why I bought the season to start with when I originally watch your videos sometime ago.

[@BenjaminTurner7]

Yummy! We grew sorghum, but sadly frost came before it produced seed. We're going to germinate early next time, hopefully get some seeds.

[@Anamericanhomestead]

Yeah, start it early! It should grow up there. As soon as frost danger is over, put it in the ground. For people farther south from Michigan, you can start it later.

[@KMDeur]

Love this versatile seed.

[@VairalKE]

Greets from Kenya. Just saw your video. We grow sorghum for syrup and animal feed. Never tried popcorn though....

[@bettyescookingchannel]

Thanks for sharing your sorghum popcorn recipe.

[@offgridsweden]

Those looks good. Have an amazing Tuesday, Andreas from Off Grid Sweden 🇸🇪

[@preppingforlife264]

Wow I am trying to grow that this year for sure and getting a grinder!!!!!! Thanks for all your videos

[@lisawallace921]

Thanks for sharing just finished making popcorn 🍿 just to small but really good ❤

[@mccardieclan1755]

Can't wait to try this YUM!!

[@susantaylor8507]

Wow did you grow this

[@Tsiri09]

It's an interesting grain, but here in NM, the growing season is so short I'm not sure it would survive.

[@lightlove9792]

For those with little time. Instructions start at 4:45 minutes Your welcome!

[@Roehrtribe]

Fun!

[@nicholasnapier2684]

I try to tell people about this but nobody wants to grow anything anymore I want to live around people that have the same thinking as I do that's really how I judge people anyway... they don't grow anything is because they're not decent people... hey that's what my grandparents always taught me my parents directly...

[@shawns0762]

I feel the same way, can't understand why there isn't fruit trees growing in every yard

[@lylymongeon]

Got all excited but couldn't find the option to ship to Canada. Oh well, great info and content nonetheless. :)

[@Anamericanhomestead]

I think there is a US law about shipping seeds to foreign countries. Sorry.

[@fourdayhomestead2839]

Added to my seed order.

[@gregwoodring2932]

Is this red sorghum -common to China?? I’ve heard it is the most nutritious of the sorghum varieties..

[@nutmegknoll]

Definitely going to try growing next year

[@TheAndroid3k]

Now I have to listen to Scatman. I hope you are happy with yourself... Cause I am. Love that song. Almost as wholesome as polka!

[@Sbannmarie]

So cool!

[@echandler673]

Does the sorghum need to be hulled in order to be cooked like rice?

[@ShivaKrishnan]

Sorghum also increases 5ar in your body by 50%, which will boost your DHT levels.

[@blackpackhomesteadchrisand7337]

Do you use your Black Amber Cane Sorghum any differently than any other Sorghum?

[@maryhumphrey1470]

Zach where do I purchase the seed. I live north of springfield mo. I too see lots of uses. I am interested in chicken feed also. Thanks.

[@Anamericanhomestead]

Link in the description. This will produce a LOT of protein and iron rich feed for your chickens!

[@shockerthreeone]

Those look delicious!

[@anitarajput11]

Amazing

[@Ramiromasters]

If you preheat the oil and then dump the sorghum there, almost everything will pop wide.

[@inharmonywithearth9982]

It is very tricky to get sorghum milo to pop. Thanx

[@brandonvonbo9708]

Is sorghum Susan grass the same thing?

[@KumarS-y9e]

Soak , dry and pop for 100%

[@juliebaker6969]

You said you can make syrup and sugar from sorghum, can you do a video showing how to do that?

[@lacyhay6502]

Julie Baker I was wondering that too!!!! I'm considering growing this next year that would be a great video to see

[@Screamingpinesfarm]

@@lacyhay6502 zack has made a couple of videos just look thru his collection you will find them Also Deepsouth Homestead also has videos on making sugar out of sorghum

[@lacyhay6502]

Wes thank you! I just recently subscribed a few months ago so I'm new to this. But I'll have to check out their older videos.

[@Anamericanhomestead]

Yeah, you basically crush the cane and collect the juice and then boil it down into syrup. You can this consume this syrup the same way you'd consume sugar...OR distill it into rum.

[@Ayarit28]

I tried this but the grain didn't pop 😬

[@michillene]

I just tried popping sorghum tonight..I gave up..Took way too long and hardly any popped..It did not pop like this.

[@chrisharvey7461]

can i ask what type you popping

[@angelaharrinarine9071]

Hi will you be able to sell me some please. It the first time I am hearing about sorghum. I am from Trinidad and Tobago.

[@chrisharvey7461]

i used white aftrican and they came out tiny why yours so big

[@jds7907]

You don't need to add oil at all

[@rupinderkaur7252]

Vaaaaaaao 😁

[@worminstool]

Your link is for papalo seeds......

[@lylymongeon]

Worm Instool If you scroll to the bottom of the papalo page, you'll find the sorghum seed link. :)

[@shuff1111]

UMMM, I believe that would be called Popped Sorghum not popped corn!!!

[@hemlock5396]

SCATT MAN!!
