things people ask

• How many sorghum kernels are in a teaspoon?
  A level teaspoon of whole sorghum grain (4 g) holds roughly 200-250 kernels, though the count varies with variety — white food-grade sorghum kernels tend to be slightly smaller than red. For a popping test, one teaspoon is enough to confirm whether the batch is fresh and dry enough; stale kernels stay silent in the pan.
• Can I use a teaspoon of popped sorghum as a salad topping?
  Yes, and that's one of its better small-scale uses. A teaspoon of dry sorghum (4 g) pops into roughly a tablespoon of light, crunchy puffs — enough to garnish one plated salad or a bowl of soup. Drizzle with a little olive oil and salt while the puffs are still warm so the seasoning sticks before they cool.
• Is a teaspoon of sorghum ever called for in baking?
  Rarely on its own, but some gluten-free flour blends call for 1-2 teaspoons (4-8 g) of finely ground sorghum or whole popped grain per cup of mixed flours, used as a textural accent rather than structure. Keep in mind this is whole grain, not sorghum flour — the two are not interchangeable by teaspoon, since the flour is much finer and denser.
