How many ears grow on a corn stalk?

Typically around July, the tassel on top of the corn plant fertilizes the silks (those stringy things when you husk sweet corn) on the ear of corn. After the pollen gets on the end of the silk, it travels down into the ear where it pollinates the kernel. Each kernel has its own silk. After fertilization, the ear starts forming. Pollination is dependent on when you plant and the temperature outside. So when you see the tassel at the top open up, the ear will start forming in the coming weeks.

How many bushels of ear corn are in a ton?

Ear corn is somewhat variable by its very nature, so the answer to this question can only be estimated. On average, shelled corn should weigh around 56 pounds US to the bushel. Ear corn is approximately one bushel = 0.8 bushel of shelled corn. Therefore, there should be around 45 bushels to the ton.

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) states that a bushel of ear corn weighs 70 lbs/ bushel. 2000/70#=28.57 bushels of ear corn to the ton.

Although the two answers seem to be contradictory, they're not. The first answer assumes that one places ear corn into a one bushel container ("one bushel" being a volumetric measurement) and then shells it out, therefore making less than one bushel of shelled out corn. The USDA assumes that the user wants one bushel of shelled out grain after shelling, and so they add in the weight of the cobs to the shelled grain. It just depends on how you go about it.

How much starch is in corn?

Popcorn is produced from zea mays, a type of corn that has a thin enough outer hull to allow for the corn to pop when heated. Like other starchy vegetables, popcorn is a rich source of carbohydrates.

Starches 101: Starches are a white chemical that all plants naturally produce. As a polysaccharide, starches, which are a type of carbohydrate, break down into glucose in the body, which provides fuel for your body's activities and is especially important for brain function. A 1-cup serving of popcorn has 6.2 grams of carbohydrate, which becomes glucose in your body after it is digested.

Resistant Starch: Popcorn contains type one resistant starch, which is found in the cell walls of plants. It's present in seeds, beans and grains, including corn. As its name implies, resistant starch resists digestion, so it passes through to your gut primarily undigested, providing a source of nutrition for the healthy bacteria that lives in your digestive tract. In addition to providing fuel for your gut's bacteria, resistant starch may also help keep your insulin levels steady, reducing spikes in blood sugar.
