Source for comestible cracked corn Over the summer, I had the opportunity to have some cracked corn which is similar to pop corn but with a different species of corn that had bigger kernels and the chef that served them said they were starchier which meant that they popped differently, the texture was the same as the type of kernels that are at the bottom of a bag but only slightly popped.

I've had a hard time looking for a source except for cracked corn as animal feed which I wouldn't trust for my own consumption. Does anyone know of a place to find some to pop?
I've seen them called "pop pops". NatureBox sells them:

Trader Joe's has a variant:

There's also a brand called "half pops" at halfpops.com.

Googling turned up a recipe for making them, but I haven't tried it:
