<b>Popcorn</b> or <b>popping corn</b> is a type of corn which explodes from the kernel and puffs up when heated. Special varieties are grown to give improved popping yield. Some wild types will pop, but the cultivated strain is ''Zea mays averta'', which is a special kind of ''flint corn''. The process of making popcorn was first discovered by Native Americans thousands of years ago.<a href="http://www.buzzle.com/editorials/12-7-2005-83445.asp Popcorn History" target="_blank">[ language{reference} ]</a> <br />
