Read:
The popcorn kernel ______________ 12% water inside. The popcorn explosion is nothing more than the expansion of water vapor inside the grain. The starch in corn is transformed into the white flake we call popcorn. It is known that long before Columbus discovered America, the Indians in the north of the continent were already eating popcorn. They began to make it with the whole ear placed on a skewer and brought to the fire. Then they started to throw the loose grains directly over a low heat. Another way was to cook corn in a clay pot filled with hot sand.
