What is popcorn?

Answer by  kmccarte (187)

Popcorn is simply corn kernels that have been heated to a certain temperature to where the shell cracks, and it "pops". Traditionally, popcorn was first made over the stove, or over a fire, but now, it is readily purchased in a microwavable bag. Simply follow the instructions on the bag, and you'll have a delicious snack.

Popcorn are corn kernels that have been dried to be popped. There's little amount of oil and moisture in it so when it heats past boiling point, it turns fluffy.

Popcorn is the dried kernels of corn cut off of the cob. You get them to pop by applying heat. Heat makes the air and moisture inside the kernels expand.
