Is popcorn a vegtable?

[Jubei]

Corn is a grain, like wheat.

So no - it's closer to bread than say a turnip.

It's as much as a vegetable as a French Fry.

Technically, yes, but I don't count it as one.

I'm Going to answer this thread once and for ALL Corn is grain and its in the bacon family because corn is just as good has bacon so there I answer is thread

A popcorn kernel is actually a seed. Like other seeds, inside it has a tiny plant embryo (a life form in its earliest phase). The embryo is surrounded by soft, starchy material that would give the embryo energy for growing into a plant. A hard, glossy shell protects the outside of the seed.

The soft, starchy material holds some water. When the kernel is heated to a high heat (400 degrees F), the water inside the kernel turns into steam. The pressure from the steam causes the kernel to explode. The soft starch inside bursts out at about 40 times its original size, turning the kernel inside out. This creates the fluffy white area of a popped kernel.

Corn is used as a vegetable, but it is actually a grain.

Hahaha, I love how this poll is almost dead even in Yes and No votes. In fact, if I had voted No instead of Yes, we'd have 41-41 even!

And yes, popcorn is a veggie, even if it isn't a very good one. It's basically just popped CORN kernels, and since corn is a vegetable, popcorn is too. (I guess)

popcorn is indeed a veggie... the only thing that makes it unhealthy is all the stuff they add to it (oil, butter, salt... etc)

It's a grain. Just like oats, and wheat, and all those other "grain" things.

We eat corn quite a bit without even realizing it. With the majority of cereals containing corn, corn syrup in drinks and candy, and corn oil being used to fry already not healthy things... Yep. Corn. Graintastic.

Wow... I didn't even realize there was a page two to this poll... Sheesh. Go me for not looking for a little digit in the corner.
