CULTURE:We tend to think of popcorns for popping only, but some Native Americans also grind popcorn to make bread. Popcorn is grown and dried in the same manner as dent corn or flint corn. All the popcorns and most flint corns are resistant to ear damage by birds. PACKET: 1 oz or 28 g (about 460 to 565 seeds, depending on variety) sows 125’. See Corn for cultural information.
