1️⃣ Sweet Potato Sorghum Salad
This Sweet Potato Sorghum #Salad is healthy, filling and so flavorful! It’s a great way to try out sorghum if you’ve never had it before.
INGREDIENTS:
• ½ cup whole grain sorghum (https://foodtolive.com/shop/organic-sorghum-grain/)
• 1 medium sweet potato
• ½ shallot, minced
• ½ cup cilantro, chopped
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• ½ tsp smoked paprika
• ½ tsp cumin powder (https://foodtolive.com/shop/cumin-powder/)

• ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper (https://foodtolive.com/shop/organic-whole-black-pepper/)

INSTRUTIONS:
1. Heat oven to 425˚F. Give the sweet potato a good scrub and cut into ½” cubes. Place on a sheet tray. Toss with the olive oil, spices, and salt. Roast until the sweet potato is tender and starting to brown, for about 40 min.
2. Meanwhile, heat a small pot over medium-low heat. Add the sorghum and let toast for a few minutes, shaking the pan as it toasts. The sorghum should have a slight nutty smell. Add in 1 ½ cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and let cook for about an hour. Sorghum should be tender but still chewy.
3. Add cooked sorghum, baked sweet potato, minced shallot, and chopped cilantro to a bowl and top with olive oil and lemon juice. Toss and enjoy!

3️⃣ Popped Sorghum: Healthy Popcorn Alternative
Introducing popped sorghum, the wholesome and crunchy snack that's a great alternative to traditional #popcorn.
INGREDIENTS:
• ¼ cup whole grain sorghum
• 2 tbsp coconut oil
• 1 tsp nutritional yeast, optional (https://foodtolive.com/shop/nutritional-yeast-large-flakes/)
• sea salt, to taste, optional
INSTRUTIONS:
1. Take a large pot with a lid. Heat 2 tbsp of coconut oil in the pot over medium-high heat.
2. Add 1/4 cup of whole grain sorghum to the hot oil. If you like, you can sprinkle some nutritional yeast for extra flavor and a pinch of salt for taste.
3. Quickly cover the pot with the lid to keep the sorghum from popping out.
4 .Listen for the popping sounds, similar to popcorn. When the popping slows down to about 2-3 seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat.
5 . Carefully remove the lid and let the popped sorghum cool for a minute or two.
6. Transfer the popped sorghum to a bowl. If you'd like, add a bit more nutritional yeast or salt for extra flavor. Let it cool completely, and it's ready to enjoy as a tasty and crunchy snack.
