Soaking sorghum grain: Soaking the sorghum grain for 24 hours before cooking helps break down some of the anti-nutrients present in the grain, making it easier to chew to digest and improving nutrient absorption.
Cooking time: The cooking time for sorghum grain may vary depending on the variety and freshness of the grain. Keep an eye on the grains while cooking, and adjust the time accordingly. If the grain is still hard, add more water, let it cook until the grain becomes soft.
Grilling alternatives: If you don't have access to a grill or BBQ, you can achieve a similar effect by using a stovetop grill pan or even roasting the pineapple, corn, and tomatoes in the oven at a high temperature.
Serving suggestions: Serve it as a light lunch, a side dish, or even as a main course. The choice is yours!
