Why popcorn pops and how to prepare it well
Popcorn pops as internal moisture turns to steam under pressure until the kernel bursts. It grows worldwide with the U S leading producers like Nebraska Indiana and Iowa. White and yellow kernels differ in size texture and flavor. Store in airtight containers keep moisture, and pop with 2 parts kernels to 1 part oil. Poppers vary from camp-fire to electric and microwave models with safe heat and steam venting.
