Is reheating unpopped popcorn kernels foodsafe? (feddit.online)

Hey all,

Been wanting to reduce the amount of waste I generate, and one small way I was thinking of doing so was perhaps by reheating the unpopped popcorn kernels that appear in the bottom of my bowl after making a batch with my air popper.

Would this be safe to do, or is it recommended against? I'd love to reuse them if possible and ensure I have no unneeded waste there, but I also want to make sure I'm not making myself sick by eating something I shouldn't be.

Thanks in advance!

I do this all of the time. You are partially right. You have to keep a close eye on it and stop popping earlier, otherwise they burn.
