HISTORY OF POPCORN

Corn cobs are where corn kernels derive. When a kernel is heated, the water inside turns to steam which causes it to explode. If the kernel is too dry, it will not pop, which would be why unpopped kernels are found at the bottom of a cooked batch.

  1. HISTORY OF POPCORN

  2. WHAT IS POPCORN? Corn cobs are where corn kernels derive. When a kernel is heated, the water inside turns to steam which causes it to explode. If the kernel is too dry, it will not pop, which would be why unpopped kernels are found at the bottom of a cooked batch. If you purchase corn kernels to make your own popcorn, make sure you keep it stored in a sealed container so it can’t dry out.

  3. TYPES OF CORN Did you know that there are 6 main varieties of corn, and that about 12% of corn ends up in food that is consumed? That’s right there are 6 types of corn that are available today. These are: Popping Corn :Popping corn, also known as Zea Mays, is often mistaken for its similar look to Sweet Yellow Corn. Sweet Yellow Corn : Sweet corn is what most people think of when you talk about corn. Flour Corn : It has soft kernels that are made up of starch content which makes them very easy to grind and as such has been used in baked goods and lots of other goods we consume. Dent Corn : This type of corn is used as livestock feed as well as making corn syrup. It is also used in industrial products like ethanol for fuel, beverages and sanitizers.

  4. Popcorn Shapes Did you know that there are two shapes of popcorn, there is the butterfly and the mushroom. In both types, what happens when the heated popcorn, is that it’s that popping pressure that causes a failure in the outer skin of the kernel.
