Guest guest Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 I am not sure how hot the popcorn has to get in order to pop, but my instinct says no, it is not Raw.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 Right Monte. Popcorn--air-popped or popped some other way--is still popped ;-), i.e. cooked. This is the general consensus of raw foodists. Hence, Ron, I'm sorry but I wouldn't expect us raw foodists to bring popcorn to your birthday celebration next Saturday, March 15th. :-) You CAN expect us to bring RAW treats--an excellent case in point being Mr. Rogers' [that's JEFF Rogers to you and me :- )] previous pledge to cook up, er, prep up his famous, crowd- pleasing, delicious Vice Cream ! Jeff, you RAWk! :-) Way to dRAW your chosen family to the event. ;-) RawSeattle , " mavalkyrie " <mavalkyrie> wrote: > I am not sure how hot the popcorn has to get in order to pop, but my > instinct says no, it is not Raw. > > RawSeattle , " Ron Koenig " <ron.koenig@v...> > wrote: > > Do pure raw foodists eat air-popped popcorn?

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 Popcorn is not only cooked, it is twice cooked. First the corn is cooked to get it into the form that you buy it in. Then, when it is popped, it is cooked at very high temperature to heat the water inside to create steam so that it bursts (pops) the outer layer. Corn is not only not the best human food to begin with because of its very high starch content (unless it is eaten very young, right off the stalk before the sugars are converted to starch), when it is twice-cooked it creates a lot more work for your body than it is worth nutritionally.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 Thanks for the information. Why I asked was because I was wondering if I should offer it at the potluck at my place. Now I know.
