Notes: | Label source: Also primitive but grown in the USA and Mexico for 'popcorn'. When the grains are heated, steam is generated inside and causes the grain to explode, turning the corneous endosperm inside out, producing a white fluffy mass.x0Dx0APart of Plants +, People exhibition Museum No 1, Kew.
