[Syrupmakers] sorghum soppin

[Richard Harrison]

I have a friend (in NW FL) who has made pancakes from his sweet sorghum seed. I shall call and ask him about it.

  I think Gail actually means what is the best way to get the seeds off the head - so that she can grind them for flour.   Mostly I just feed the seed heads to chickens - I've also passed them through a shredder before feeding the chickens, but never tried to separate large amounts of seed from the head - I too would like to hear a method.

     We cut and loaded our sorghum cane stalks on to a farm wagon with the heads all hangng off one side ( we tried to line thm up evenly ) after we cut a full load we then cut the heads off with a chainsaw.  It worked real good and is much easier.

    So what's the best way to get the seeds off the stalk (aside from trying to strip it off by hand)?

      A flour made from ground sorghum cane seed can be bought at some large grocery stores that sell foods for those who are allergic to wheat products. Last year one of our sorghum helpers ground some of the seeds and said the resulting flour made great pancakes.
