Maize 'Cinema' has a delicious taste and is fun to grow together with your children. Because what is more fun than growing your own maize to then make your own popcorn? This doesn’t work with normal maize: Varieties containing a high amount of starch are needed for this. ‘Cinema’ is such a variety. Because popcorn maize has a long growing period, it is important to first sow indoors and transplant the maize outdoors half May, after the risk of frost has passed. Make sure that the kernels have fully ripened before you harvest the cobs. Depending on the weather, the cobs can be harvested from September onwards. The kernels need to be dry in order to pop best!
