things people ask

• How much sorghum do I add per loaf of bread?
  Recipes that fold whole sorghum into wheat or gluten-free bread doughs typically call for 2-4 tablespoons (24-48 g) of cooked or popped grain per standard loaf. Adding raw kernels directly will give a hard crunch unless they're soaked overnight first. Popped sorghum, by contrast, can go straight in and contributes a toasty, almost malted note.
• Is a tablespoon of sorghum enough for one porridge serving?
  Not quite — a single porridge serving usually wants 3-4 tablespoons (36-48 g) of whole sorghum simmered in about a cup of milk or water for 45-50 minutes. One tablespoon alone is closer to a thickener than a base. In West African and South Indian traditions, sorghum porridge often combines cracked grain with whole kernels for a smoother result.
• How many tablespoons in a small grain-bowl portion?
  A modest grain-bowl portion of cooked sorghum runs about 1/2 cup cooked, which traces back to roughly 2.5 tablespoons (30 g) of dry grain before simmering. If you're meal-prepping, scaling by tablespoon helps when you want individual servings rather than one big batch — 5 tablespoons (60 g) dry covers two portions cleanly.
