Which popcorn takes up more room yellow or white?
Yellow popcorn comes in most corn kernel bags. Although it isn’t really yellow until you put butter on it, we define it as yellow because it is more yellow than “White” popcorn. White popcorn, the anomaly, comes from the bags of corn kernels that say “White Popcorn” on the label. Obviously, we define it as white because it is not yellow. Yellow popcorn pops larger but has more hulls. White popcorn has fewer hulls and is slightly sweeter.
