Sure, you probably don't have cobs of corn you grew and dried over the winter right now, if you did you were probably already popping your popcorn. But if not, why not plant some popping corn in your garden this spring. Allow your corn to dry in a dry location (it may take a month depending upon your humidity level to be dried all the way) and then pop it in a paper bag in the microwave.
Yes, on the cob! Just put the cob in a paper bag and press the popcorn button but be sure to hang around and listen for sounds that it has stopped popping. Only pop one cob at a time.
So, who is excited to grow your own popcorn this summer!
Popcorn is my all-time favorite meal… yes, meal! I could live on popcorn and coffee. Almost.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of corn is popcorn? That's a serious question!
I remember trying to pop home-grown corn when I was a kid, until I found out it was field corn...didn't turn out so well.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea, I grow non GMO, non Hybrid corn every year and never thought to make popcorn from it. I am going to preserve my corn kernels this year.
ReplyDeleteThat would be fun! My son could eat popcorn for lunch everyday if I would let him
ReplyDeletelove fresh popped popcorn!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a long time to wait, although I suppose it would be highly worth the wait. Nothing better than fresh popcorn!
ReplyDeleteHow fun!! This would be great to do with our son...love it!!
ReplyDeleteCOOL!
ReplyDeleteI hope we have enough space to plant something like this - at least we can enjoy harvesting our own.
ReplyDeleteI am. I am. I am totally excited to pop my own popping corn this summer :)
ReplyDeleteThis is something we haven't tried growing yet - but my kids would love this! may have to try this year!

ReplyDeleteI simply cannot wait to get started with this! My grandchildren love popcorn and I would feel so much better growing our own non GMO corn.
