    with rice at least sadly no. though you can puff it using hot salt or sand, as is popular in India
    most grains lack the hard watertight shell popcorn has that allows pressure to build up in the kernel
    things lacking the hard shell usually have to be puffed via a puffing gun

    look up puffing guns and popcorn cannons for a fun internet info hole 👍
