Types of corn
TEXT RIGHT Popcorn, it's one of the oldest types of domesticated corn. the characteristics of the popcorn kernels are very similar to those in flint corn. the popcorn kernels has a hard yet brittle, slightly translucent kernel that is glass-like. when popcorn is heated, the moisture inside the kernel turns to steam that builds up enough pressure for the kernel to explode creating the white, starchy, edible mass that we love.
TEXT LEFT Flour, the most commonly planted type of corn in the southwest is flour corn and flour corn is composed mainly of soft starch which give it the ability to be easily ground into a finer cornmeal than any other type would be able to provide.
