Popcorn is its own variety of corn. Normal corn or sweet corn cannot produce the same popped fluff as popcorn.

Can frozen popcorn be used in popcorn machine?

Most likely yes. But why would you freeze popcorn in the first place? You may find that when frozen popcorn is put in a popcorn machine, the outside of the kernals will "cook" much quicker than the insides will heat up. This means that they kernals may end up burnt on the outside before the oil inside the kernal has reached a heat that will make it pop. This may result in burnt popcorn.


Why does your popped popcorn sometimes taste like it is a little moldy?

I have had moldy tasing popcorn a few times now, it is gross. I do not know for sure what causes it, but here is my theory: I believe popcorn kernals have some moisture inside which is neccesary in getting them to pop. So I am thinking that perhaps if popcorn gets old, mold can grow inside the kernal from the moisture, making it taste moldy when it is popped. This is the only thing that makes sense to me, and it seems like whenever I have tasted it my kernals were kind of on the old side.
