Endosperm is inside every seed we eat. including popcorn! the endosperm is within the seed which is a result of a second fertilization. Not all seeds take endosperm the same. some use it all and some use only a litte. Popcorn has a wet endosperm and when it is heated the seed will explode turning itself inside out.Friday, August 10, 2012
