No, you should never put unpopped popcorn kernels, dried beans, or similar hard seeds down your garbage disposal. Unpopped kernels are extremely hard and small, allowing them to slip past the impellers and wedge tightly into the narrow gap between the spinning flywheel and the stationary shredder ring. This causes an instant mechanical motor jam and loud humming noise. Verification: Inspect the grinding chamber with a flashlight and tongs to remove stray kernels before operating the disposal.
