Strawberry popcorn... how do you make it pop?....

[chriscross1966]

I grew a few of the mini-popcorn Strawberry this year but have been unable to make it pop... does it need presoaking or something?

You will have to let them dry properly before you try to "pop" them Chrisx..

Click this link by Claire and she will run through exactly what to do:

And you musn't get it cross pollinated by other type of corn...as popcorn have hard structure inside that prevent 'innerbits' from expansion when its heated...so the seed will 'pop' rather than letting preassure to escape.
