popping corn is a variety of corn kernel, that has the uniqueness of explosively expanding and puffing up when heated.

It  can be cooked with butter or oil. It has a crunchy feel and a great taste when eaten.

A popcorn kernel’s strong hull contains the seed’s hard, starchy shell endosperm with 14–20% moisture, which turns to steam as the kernel is heated.

Pressure from the steam continues to build until the hull ruptures, allowing the kernel to forcefully expand, from 20 to 50 times its original size, and then cool.

It is is one of six major types of corn, which includes dent corn, flint corn, pod corn, flour corn, and sweet corn.

It can be cooked with butter or oil. Although small quantities can be popped in a stove-top kettle or pot in a home kitchen, commercial sale of freshly popped popcorn employs specially designed popcorn machines
