Get rid of corns?

There are 2 ways to get rid of unwanted corns, and one of them should only be used in the absolute emergencies listed below, okay?

1) Let them slowly go away. Sure, it takes about 5 months, and it's embarrassing to have them, but it's worth it. I speak from personal experience. How to tell if they are going to go away in the next 2 weeks or so is they scab over, and when they finally come out, they just pop out and skin grows back from where it was.

2) If they are really hurting and you've had them for like, over 2 years (second option not very likely), then it's time to have them surgically removed cause they can really cause problems later in life. So it will cost a lot of money, and you'll have to talk to your doctor about this.

Is popped corn a whole grain?

All popcorn is whole grain. If the grains (kernels, really) of popcorn were not left intact, the popcorn wouldn't be able to 'pop'. The '100% whole grain!' labels that have begun to appear on microwave popcorn are nothing more than a marketing scam. 'Whole grain' popcorn is no different from any other popcorn. It isn't better for your health; it's just from a company that has smart people working in the marketing department. To answer the question, then, a label indicating a 'whole grain' popcorn product does not tell you whether or not the popcorn is organic. Look for a specific certification on the packaging if you wish to purchase organic popcorn.

How many kernels of corn are on a cob?

That depends upon a number of things. Any given variety of corn will produce a characteristic number of kernel rows, as counted in the middle of the ear (fewer rows at the end, where the ear tapers). Poor growing conditions, or poor rates of pollination will result in fewer rows, and fewer kernels overall. But, in general, given fair growing conditions and good pollination rates, most varieties will produce either 8, 10, 12, or 14 rows of kernels in the middle of the ear. 8 rows is typical for many earlier, open-pollinated varieties. 12 or 14 rows is more typical for the latest hybrid varieties. All the above is for sweet corn. I think the same general rules apply to feed corn, both flint and dent types. I know of no corn that produces an odd number of rows, unless it be an occasional freak ear. I did a little research after asking this question, so I thought I would post an update. As the previous poster was kind enough to inform us, the number of rows does vary. But in my research, I never found any evidence that it could be as low as 8 or 10 (nor have I ever seen an ear of corn with so few rows). Also, the number of rows is (for the most part*) dependent only upon the specific variety of corn. From what I can tell, 16 is probably the most common number of rows. 14 and 18 are also seen often. Confirming what the previous poster said about odd numbers, corn ears ALWAYS have an even number of rows, because the rows always occur in pairs. * Note, poor pollination will not affect the number of rows, though it will certainly affect the number of kernels. Also, "poor growing conditions" generally won't affect the number of rows. It has to be an EXTREME event, entailing severe physical or chemical damage to the plant, in an early stage of vegetative development. Lack of moisture isn't enough, at any time of the growing season. And nothing can affect the number of rows once the plant reaches the reproductive stages of development.
