Popcorn Corn – ‘Robust Pop R400MR’ Seeds

Once only commercially available, this type of popping corn is now available to the home gardener! ‘Robust Pop R400MR’ produces large, round popped kernels sturdy enough to hold a coating and stay in one piece, unlike the more common ‘butterfly’-shaped popcorn. This is also the type of popcorn found in the popular Cracker Jacks®. Grow it in your backyard to make kettle corn, caramel corn, popcorn balls, or to top with seasonings.
