Popcorn

By: Mahdi Mourad

Plant the corn in holes 1 ½ inches deep and 6

inches apart. They need sun and water to grow and will

sprout in about 10 days. Once the stalk is about 2m tall you will see

husks of corn cobs developing, that means they are nearly ready to harvest.

How to Plant

The popcorn is mature when it is brown and dry. It is hard and has a “ black layer ”which is easily seen by scratching the tip of the kernel.The corn cob is cut and stored for about 8-12 months.

Harvesting

When the popcorn is dried and ready, the kernels are cleaned and removed from the corn cob. The kernels that are dried properly are packaged and sent to the shops for people to buy.
