Is popcorn a vegetable? cuz corn is?
Answers:
yes
Yep. A starchy one.
Technically it is, but when you change the structure of it, it become something different.
Not really...
It undergoes a bunch of changes. The actual composition of the kernel, the stuff that becomes the white, fluffy stuff that is popcorn, changes. The small amount of water in it starts to heat up and, in about one-one thousandth of a second, expands 1700 times its size, producing the "pop" and the blossom, the white stuff. So, basically it undergoes a chemical change, and is no longer "corn".
No it is not, you are eating the kernel from corn which is a vegetable but popcorn has almost no nutritional value. If we are talking technically then I guess you could consider it a vegetable but if you went to a nutritionist and they asked you what vegetables you have had today and you said "popcorn" they would laugh at you.
