I would like to thank you for making this video. I have been trying to a decent yield from my sorgrhum for a long time now. I was about ready to give up, very frusterating. I believe the comment about the pre-pop helped. While I can't say it popped as much as yours did, it was my biggest yield yet and I actually could sit down and eat some! Finally! Yay!

[@better_than_popcorn]

I'm so happy to have helped!!!

[@better_than_popcorn]

Keep trying...most people do NOT have the heat high enough:)

[@brinamarie9525]

Dr. Gundry said that sorghum is lectin-free and better than popcorn. This was fun to watch. I wanna make it now.

[@better_than_popcorn]

DR Gundry is AWESOME!!!

[@better_than_popcorn]

Dr Gundry is correct:)

[@RM-yf2lu]

Best popped sorghum video I've seen. You got it down!

[@better_than_popcorn]

Thank you, glad I could help. I have another to release that will get about another 20 % more to pop!

[@better_than_popcorn]

Thank You!

[@dayannarivera405]

Thanks for the video! I bought a pack of sorghum yesterday at the vegan street fair. Can’t wait to make it! 🍿🍿🎉

[@better_than_popcorn]

In the Bronx? Loved that show!

[@gypsycruiser]

A beautiful and humble presentation ! Thank you 🙏

Our pleasure!

[@better_than_popcorn]

And thank you!

[@terrygerhart1485]

Awesome video straight foward and informativ, I need to try next weekend Great the background music remained in the background, music choice was enjoyable.

[@better_than_popcorn]

Thank You! my 15 boy through it together...He's so talented!

[@Daren_PNW]

Fascinating to know other grains/seeds(?) besides corn can be popped as a healthier snack. I want to try this with vegan cooking options. Maybe vegan butter, camelina oil, avocado oil, etc.

[@better_than_popcorn]

I use Avocado oil alot, also Coconut oil and olive oil too. thanks for the comment!

[@better_than_popcorn]

Yes, any oil will do. Avocado Oil is one of my favorites. Camelina is awesome too.

[@kushyscoopcreamery5364]

This is the best video ever been trying to figure it out thanks a million my man

[@better_than_popcorn]

My pleasure!

[@rubyfirefly2582]

Holy moly!! I never have this kind of success with sorghum! I'll try your method, along with the hydrating tip in your other video. Here's hoping!

[@better_than_popcorn]

Sending good popping vibes your way...Nate

[@ckidd8681]

Great video thanks for the tips will order

[@tiki_trash]

I had no idea that you can pop sorghum. I've only known the syrup.

[@ZZ-jn4om]

I've been trying to pop Nature Nate's brand of popping sorghum and having no luck. I've watched this video and still burned the grains. Part of this may be that it's unclear what and when to set the temperature of the burning during the popping process. Please clarify. I heard; -set on medium to heat the pot and melt/heat the oil. -crank to high when the pot has heated, watch until the oil is smoking. -still on high, add the sorghum grains and stir so the heat is evenly distributed and popping begins. -still on high, cover and shake every 5 seconds for several shakes. -when popping nears end (and this is where I'm unclear), you say something about turning the burner back up, but it's still on high according to the video. I really want to enjoy this snack at home with our own flavors. Please help me by clarifying. Everything else in this video is excellent instruction, so I feel the only thing I must be missing to succeed is the heat timing. I've also read that sometimes the grains are a bit dry to pop out, but that soaking in boiling water for 5 minutes, then letting airdry will also improve the amount of grains that pop. Would you comment on the validity of this idea? Do dry grains not pop as well? Thanks for the video on a subject it can be difficult to get good info about.

[@better_than_popcorn]

Hey ZZ, sorry for the late reply, It can be hard to pop sorghum, And yes, hydration helps, see my latest vid....kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zp_IaauqrJidqbc Also, sorry about the confusion for the temperature setting; towards the end of the pop you may want to turn it down to maybe medium to extend the pop and avoid burning. May I ask, are you getting several cups of popped sorghum to pop and then it burns or not much to pop at all?

[@better_than_popcorn]

sorry for the confusion...after the pan and stove have warmed up on medium turn it to high (or almost high) add the oil, once it starts smoking , put in the grain. I hope this helps. Nate

[@willismartin9196]

Nate, you're great ! 💪 😊

[@better_than_popcorn]

You're the best!

[@blessedt.2248]

Good stuff I just bought a variety pack and I can’t wait to try to do it at home myself I absolutely love it

[@fidelgomez9158]

Great explanation! Thanks!

Good luck. Nate

[@fcsolis]

Thank you.

[@better_than_popcorn]

You're welcome! Nate

[@LearnHowToWipeYaArse]

Wish I known this last night, I tried popping this like it was corn and smoked out the house

[@better_than_popcorn]

We've all made these mistakes:)

[@glbaker5595]

So cool where do you get the seeds at,, I live in a small community in Kentucky I have cooked with sorghum in the past but I never seen the seeds for sale

[@better_than_popcorn]

My Grain is sourced in CA

[@Nannaof10]

The QR code on the package didn't work. I had to look online to find your video

[@camille-i2o]

What kind of sorghum can be used? Does it have to be wholegrain? Thank you for a great video.

[@better_than_popcorn]

Thank you for watching, I hope it helps! Nate

[@Improvemypronunciation]

I did get more out of this batch but not as much as yours.

[@better_than_popcorn]

Are you using my brand of DIY Sorghum? Did you try to moisten the grain first?kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zp_IaauqrJidqbc

[@earlart4965]

Best Sorghum Popcorn Video! Awesome job and thanks! What is the Ghee butter you used?

[@better_than_popcorn]

Ghee is clarified butter, the lactose and protein are removed, it's just a super oil, very high smoke point and very flavorful. I just sold that part of my business to focus on sorghum.

[@earlart4965]

@@better_than_popcorn Thank you for the information. What is the brand name you used in the video?

[@better_than_popcorn]

Thanks!!! We were the proud owners of Urban Gita Ghee, which I sold off to focus completely on sorghum. thanks for the reply, Nate

[@johnmuller8287]

What I would like to know is, can you use the red sorghum also, or do you have to use a specific sort of sorghum, let me know please

[@better_than_popcorn]

Hi, the current Black sorghum that we are selling is NOT good for popping. Stick to sorghum that advertises popping, like OUR DIY Popping Sorghum:)

[@Improvemypronunciation]

Wow, I didn’t know this was your company. I just found your product at Natural Grocer and they stay out of stock of the coconut oil and sea salt bag! Correct me if I’m wrong about it being your company it I thought I saw you on the website as the owner or something along those lines. Do you sell the kernels because I didn’t see the bag on your website?

[@better_than_popcorn]

Yes it is my company! Also we do sell the popping sorghum, here is the link for the 1lb bag: naturenatesllc.com/collections/organic-popping-sorghum-diy-do-it-yourself/products/organic-popping-sorghum-diy-do-it-yourself-1-lb

[@stevebuss69]

Thanks for sharing… My share back to you is ....use a wooden spoon or spatula instead of scratching the heck out of your pots .

[@better_than_popcorn]

Great tip!

[@Navyuncle]

Where do you buy popping sorghum? I don't recall ever seeing it before.

[@Improvemypronunciation]

Amazon or natural grocers are two places where I have found it .

[@Monir24780]

Is it okay if we used olive oil

[@better_than_popcorn]

yes, high heat , top of the line oil!!!

[@thegonzohunter9967]

I saw a video where somone moistened the sorghum for several hours before popping to increase yield; have you ever tried this & would you recommend?

[@better_than_popcorn]

Yah Man, here's mine..... kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zp_IaauqrJidqbc

[@debbieengdall2333]

Doesn't give much of a serving for all the oil. Then by adding a flavor butter salt took out the health properties.

[@herbhouston5378]

So, what does it taste like?

[@better_than_popcorn]

Popcorn!

[@NKRAIEM]

Do you pop it on high heat ?

[@better_than_popcorn]

Yes, when you add the sorghum the oil should be on high heat and wait until the oil begins smoking.

[@NKRAIEM]

@@better_than_popcorn and it stays on high heat through the popping ?

[@dezzyrose4578]

Mine wont pop like this. Why is this so hard 😭
