Is Popcorn And Corn The Same Thing?
No, popcorn and corn are not the same thing. While they both come from the same plant family, popcorn is a specific type of corn kernel that has a hard outer hull and a starchy inner area that expands when heated, while regular corn kernels are larger and have a softer, chewier texture. Additionally, popcorn is typically grown specifically for popping and has a different moisture content and hull than regular corn.
