I saw a discussion of this on some food forum when I did a search for how to
pop it. Some had success with a hot air popper but others said it just sat
there, clogging the mechanism and burning. I don't know about doing it in
the microwave. I think the problem is that the kernels are so small. You
have to shake the pan a lot to keep it from burning.
