WHY DOES POPCORN POP

                    WHY DOES POPCORN POP ? 

Pop pop pop. Don’t you just love popcorn even the smell of it can catch your attention.From a hard popcorn kernel pop comes a fluffy piece of popcorn.But before we can hear that sound or even taste it we need to understand WHERE DOES POPCORN COME FROM or what creates it well it all starts in a big field of corn.

There are many different types of corn but only one corn is popping corn. Popcorn pops because when you are cooking it on a stove or in the microwave the water inside of the kernel gets turned into steam and that is what creates the pressure for the endosperm (starchy part of the kernel) gets released and gets turned into popcorn.

Some people love to eat popcorn with caramel and some with chocolate and for all of those butter lovers out there as well. Some people love to eat popcorn with extra butter and some prefer sweet and salty and some prefer plain.

The kernel needs to have at least 19% water in it for it to turn into popcorn. If there is too much water in it or to less the popcorn will not explode and won’t turn into popcorn. 

So next time you are making popcorn you will always remember what causes it to pop or how much water there should be for it to pop.You will also remember the process from it in a field and into your mouth. P.S What do you like to eat your popcorn with. By Inshirah
