Popcorn
Would popcorn be conisdered a vegetable?
Have you ever noticed how crayons are a lot like M&M's? All the colors tend to taste the same.

Ive got some interesting insight into this. I had to be put on a special diet about 10 years ago because I had chronic kidney failure. So I couldnt
eat foods high in potassium or phosphorus and I couldnt have lots of protien. Anyway... I couldnt eat corn because it was high in potassium, but I
could eat popcorn because it didnt have much.
So... there's something in the popping that takes lots of nutrients out.
I dont know if you were looking for a serious answer, but there ya go. I dont think it's a vegetable.

As a diabetic, when deciding on what I'm eating I have to count corn as a starch as opposed to a vegetable.

the chemical reation when the kernals are heated makes the starch expand and explode hence the soft inside turing out and it becoming popcorn.
not a vegetable.
i think its under the new snackfood catagory now.

I have no idea. I thought it was chips or snacks or something. But it is from corn.

Still we have no definite answer. I'm loving the old threads though. Seeing my posts and wondering WTF I was doing when I posted them. Its kind of
really fucking cool.

Popcorn's a vegetable... I think, however, that the difference between corn and popcorn lay primarily in that popcorn is of a different variety than
sweet corn AND the popping.
It's still a vegetable though. The applesauce analogy is right on.

yeah thats definitly true. I was mainly being sarcastic, but I wonder if there is any processing to corn besides the drying to make it pop.
