Why does popcorn pop
Pop! Pop! Pop!
Do you know how popcorn pops?
Popcorn is a snack food that grows on a cob and pops when it gets to a temperature too hot to handle. Popcorn is named for its popping noise. When popcorn pops it bursts open and releases a hot steam.
Popcorn pops because inside a popcorn kernel there is water starch and steam. The water in the kernel turns into steam and the steam makes the starch turn into a gel like substance. Then the pressure builds up and pushes the starch out and if the starch comes incontact with oxygen it turns into a fluffy starch. That is what you eat.
So now you know how popcorn pops. My favorite popcorn flavor is butter, lightly salted and icing sugar. What is your favorite flavor?
