you buy buck wheat from a farming store like Southern States..we made alot of them and they also smell really good..like baking bread...its not ground(groats) its the entire seed...and corn doesn't pop unless it is actually pop corn..they are different varieties...I don't think corn would work well

We farm and grow all types of grain including buckwheat. You don't want groats or hulls but need the whole kernal to hold the heat. I usually use wheat in mine because it is a denser kernel and holds the heat better than barley. A feed mill or farm supply store should be a good source of whole grains.
