Popcorn and I have had a long, productive, delicious relationship throughout my lifetime. I was also told it was banned because of the hull on the kernel and was given a cautionary tale of a girl at the office that ended up with an abscess/infection after getting some of the hull stuck up under her gum. Perhaps it was an urban legend... I didn't press for details.

As a solution to this, I've ordered quite a bit of "hulless" popcorn. The company I purchased it from explains what it is here:

If there is any hull left on this popcorn after it's popped, I have yet to notice it. Because the kernels are all fairly uniformly sized as well, there tends to be very few kernels left over. That said, I still grab the top half of the popcorn from our stove top popper and give the rest (with potential kernels) to my husband. It has a bit more of the popping oil on it anyway.
