What is Pop Corn???
How do we get "Pop Corn"; Where does it come from????
Answers:
Popcorn or Popping Corn is a type of maize which explodes from the kernel and puffs up when heated. Special varieties are grown to give improved popping yield. Some wild types will pop, but the cultivated strain is Zea mays subsp. mays, which is a special kind of flint corn.
As with all cereal grains, each kernel of popcorn contains a certain amount of moisture in its starchy endosperm.As the kernel is heated past the boiling point, water in the kernel turns to superheated, pressurized steam, contained within the moisture-proof hull. Under these conditions, the starch inside the kernel gelatinizes, softening and becoming pliable. at a temperature of 175 °C. The hull ruptures rapidly, causing a sudden drop in pressure inside the kernel and a corresponding rapid expansion of the steam, which expands the starch and proteins of the endosperm into an airy foam. As the foam rapidly cools, the starch and protein polymers set into the familiar crispy puff.
Palomillas de Maiz...LOL

Pop Corn is maiz (corn). This is dried on a farm for a period of time. Industries combine the corn with fat, seasoning, and coloring. Adding heat will make it pop. The corn is not the yellow or black ones. It is a special corn that it's let to dry on farms. It will make you fat like crazy.
