?Through this study, we now have a better understanding of the science behind why unpopped kernels occur and how we can use this knowledge to go about reducing their number,? says Hamaker, who is director of Purdue?s Whistler Center for Carbohydrate Research.

Hamaker and his associates analyzed 14 different genetic varieties of yellow popcorn and compared their microwave popping performance. Using the same experimental conditions, they determined that the number of unpopped kernels ranged from 4 percent (best) to 47 percent (worst), depending on the variety. The researchers then analyzed the properties of the better performing kernels to determine which factors contributed to their outcome.

They should check out the popcorn my grandfather grew. When we were taking care of his estate in 1988, we found some jars of popcorn he had grown on the farm, and to this day the stuff still pops with only one or two dead ones out of a jar, if that.

I am not sure if we used it all up or not, I will have to find out and try popping some more if there is any left.

"What should we do today? Find the cure for some disease or eat popcorn?" :laugh:

Unpopped kernels annoy me too.. but the reason I don't like microwave popcorn is because the smell of the butter during/after cooking. I used to like that smell when I was younger, but I've come to dislike it. 🙁

You should grow some before you eat it all.

..I know people that pop a bag of mWave popcorn then hose it down wit areosol butter spray..their hands and face are glistening wit greese by the time they finish.

 

[imported_Reck]

stove popped is the best. you can get this seasoning (I don't remember where from though) to make stove popped taste exactly like movie theater pop corn.

I don't know if it would even grow at this point. It is almost a couple of decades old now, at least.

Corn is one of the worst things on the planet for your teeth.

I managed a mall store that made caramel corn and chocolates...

Dairy horomones... risk of yeast infection... sitting open legged commando style and the permeation of clams and tuna gets to you.
