Boilerplate
Dhani™ (pronounced Dah-nee) is an Austin, Texas snack company making popped sorghum — an ancient whole grain that pops like popcorn at a third of the size, with no hull and a denser crunch. The sorghum is grown and air-popped at origin in Kansas, then seasoned and finished by hand in small batches using only real ingredients: clarified butter, sea salt, and foods you could buy at a grocery store. No seed oils, no "natural flavors," nothing artificial. Dhani launched in 2026 at Austin farmers markets and ships direct nationwide at dhanisnacks.com.

The short version of the story
Sorghum has been popping over fires for five thousand years. Almost nobody in America has ever tasted it. Dhani found it, made it delicious, and put its name on it — and is now introducing the grain one Austin farmers market at a time. The name? All anyone gets is the pronunciation.
