This is probably the cheapest rice substitute you can get basing on price per kilogram. It doesn't really have a taste so make sure to add salt before cooking. It has an interesting texture, kinda like cooked mung beans but a bit more firm. It is also very filling, when I have this during a meal I eat way less.
19 days agoI've tried this as a rice substitute but none in our family liked it. We cooked it according to package directions, it takes a while longer than other grains. It was like a hard garbanzo and quite dry. But as a snack, it was fab! This is better than popcorn because it's healthier. We use the microwave. We put 1/4 cup into a brown paper bag, with our microwave the perfect time would be 2 to 3 minutes on medium high heat. I had to test it out 3 times to get the best result, I suggest you do the same too. Then I pour the cooked sorghum popcorn into a bowl, mix in some extra virgin olive oil and sea salt. Healthy Yummy! Even the small ones that don't pop can be eaten and are not as hard as those popcorn kernels. Also one good thing, you know that annoying popcorn hull that gets in between the teeth? There's none of those with the sorghum. There's so much in a pack of this ang it's so worth it. I also make this for my kid, so much healthier than junk food. Sometimes I mix parmesan, curry powder etc etc. There's no limit to what flavor you can come up with.
3 months agoWouldn’t really substitute it for rice that’s paired with ulam because it feels like eating corn. But my husband actually prefers this than quinoa or adlay. I think because it doesn’t have a strong taste. I did try it using for champorado, soup and salads it was yummy! I love that you can also pop it and it turns out like mini popcorns. I just add parmesan cheese and tadah! Instant snack.
4 months agoThis is a game changer! I want to start a healthy lifestyle but I also love rice. I cannot live without rice. Good thing I discovered Sorghum. It is a good alternative to rice although I suggest that you eat it right away. I feel full for a longer period so I tend to eat less after eating this. Will buy again!
