>popcorn vs. popamaranth

Why do we pop corn?

Because popcorn is crunchy.
Because we can eat it for hours and don't fill up.
Because we can.

Yes, because we can.

Can we pop other seeds?

We can, and we do. Protein-rich pearl millet is an even better choice for popping. So is amaranth. Popped kernel size is smaller, but if we didn't have such a corn glut situation in this country, perhaps coming to a theater near you could be buttered popmillet and popamaranth.
