Years ago, I read that, aside from the proper type of corn, the only other
seed that could be popped like popcorn was Amaranth.
Has anyone done this and, is there a source to purchase Amaranth seed for
popping?

just curious

I was curious too so I did a bit of Googling.

I also read a few blogs and it seems the results across the board aren't
that great. Everyone I read said that about 75% of it burned before any of
it actually popped and the it's very teeny tiny puffs. Could be kind of
cool for miniature popcorn strings for the doll house Christmas tree

empty.
