POPCORN TIME A FEN HINTS on POPPING
NOISTORE FOR POPPING
Popcorn pops by stead: purer, end poppers
got the best results, say corn specialists
of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s
Research.Administration, rhen .the kernels
contain between 14 and 15 percent of
moisture. The moisture requirement■is tho
sane for the old-type open-poll incited corn
and the nor: high-yielding hybrid kind that
has 25 to 30 percent more expansion.
Good results in popping com d.cpojnd on ,hon
tho corn is kept just as much as on its
condition rhen bought. Mich of the pop
corn nor sold at retail in small quantltie
is heimctically scaled in cans at the
proper moisture content for best'popping. 1
"""hen one of these cans is opened, the
corn not to bo used at once can be kept
at the right noisturd content by sealing
in a glass fruit jar, using a rubber ging.
Most householders have no quick and easy
ray to find the.moisture content of loose
popcorn, but popping a sample rill give'
some indication. If the Com oops vrcll,
leaving fer grains unpopped, the rest of
the batch may be kept in this condition
indefinitely by closing tight in rubber
sealed jars.
If the com does net nop re 11 .and seems
too dry, it may be improved oy scaling
in a fruit, jar rith a for drop is: of rat or'
