Cooking Sorghum

- Drain and Place the soaked sorghum or 1 cup of dry sorghum into a large pot. Pour in 3 cups (709 ml) of water. For a little extra flavor, you can also stir in 1 teaspoon (6 g) of kosher salt.
- Boil and then reduce the heat, cook on medium heat for about 1 hr. Check the sorghum to see if it's finished cooking. You can serve the sorghum once most of the water has been absorbed and the sorghum is softened.
