“Assessment of Kernel Characteristics to Predict Popping Performance in Grain Sorghum” with Kent Mitchell Popping sorghum is a niche alternative to popcorn, with no large hulls, a neutral flavor, and smaller kernels. While the tasty snack is growing in popularity, much remains to be learned about the practices that can produce the best popping product. This episode, Mitchell discusses his research on finding the best production practices, commercial varieties, and popping quality traits for this up-and-coming snack time star. Tune in to learn: Which qualities can be used to measure popping quality in sorghum How popping sorghum differs from other crops like popping corn How threshing methods can affect popping ratios in sorghum Which new popping sorghum shape the team discovered If you would like more information about this topic, this episode's paper is available here: https://doi.org/10.1002/csc2.20732 It will be freely available from 4 November to 15 November, 2022.

The report provides international buyers unbiased information about our nation's sorghum crop; two-thirds produced here in Kansas for the second year in a row the average grade was above the requirements for us. Number one sorghum protein content and sorghum was up 8% year over year, with readings coming in at 11.2%. Nearly a full percentage point jump above last year's content. 100% of samples tested undetectable for tannins, which gives us sorghum a premium for high nutrient absorption in animal diets. The grains council intends to share the report globally, providing the latest information for end-users interested in understanding how us sorghum is uniquely positioned among other varieties. And that's perfect timing as farmers like you are heading out to the field to be in planning this year sorghum. To read through the brief report for yourself just visit grains.org.

“Don’t fall prey to diets that eliminate whole food groups, especially grains and carbs. Whole grains like sorghum can provide beneficial nutrients to the diet and allow some great fun and variety, too.” – Lauren Harris-Pincus   Sorghum was recently named the “It Grain” by the James Beard Foundation. It’s a naturally gluten-free whole grain, it’s high in fiber and antioxidant rich, and it’s good for digestive health and blood pressure. On this episode we hear from a dietitian and recipe developer who shares tangible tips to use sorghum in your diet to boost your nutrition, and a representative from the United Sorghum Checkoff Program (USCP) about the history, farming and sustainability of sorghum, as well as tips for using sorghum syrup as a marinade blend when you’re grilling! Lauren Harris-Pincus, MS, RDN, is a nutrition communications specialist, speaker, spokesperson, and dietitian in private practice where she specializes in weight management and prediabetes. She is the owner and blogger behind nutritionstarringyou.com and author of the newly released book: The Protein-Packed Breakfast Club, which features easy, high protein breakfast recipes with 300 calories or less to help you lose weight and boost metabolism.
