Why does Popcorn go white?!


Question: Why does Popcorn go white!?
Why does popcorn go white once popped because if you broke the kernel it yellow inside!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
The white part of popped popcorn is the heated starch from inside the kernel!.

Simple as that!. Starch is white so the popcorn is white!. While the starch is still in its unheated form, it still has some moisture in it and is condensed--that's why it appears yellow if you break open an unpopped, unheated dry kernel of corn!.

Potatoes are also starchy and appear white inside after heating, but are yellowish raw!. See!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

The inside of the kernel is being stretched a lot, so the heavy yellow on the inside is being pulled over a much larger area!. If you look at popcorn that hasn't been buttered, you'll notice that the insides of the pieces are much more yellow that the outsides!.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to make some poppy-corns!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I'm thinking that because the popcorn seed is packaged before it might have a chance to grow into whatever it was going to be !!?! !.,!. Chlo'ro-phy'll had'nt had a chance to affect the growing process!!?! Or before it had a chace to <FEED> if you will!.!?!. of the substance that would give it a GREEN coloring!.!.!. (Chlorophyll) vegitations own source of food !!!?!! !. r R r Www@FoodAQ@Com

The inside is actually white, while the buttered stuff is yellow!.
If you have ever eaten boiled or on-the-grill corn, you can see that the inside is white!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Because there isn't enough of the yellow stuff to fill up the popcorn!. the popcorn is a bit too big for the kernel!. thats why its white!. it's not because of butter or anything like that! lmao!
