Ever wondered why your popcorn pops?
It's all about a tiny kernel of drama happening inside! Each kernel has a bit of water trapped inside a hard starch shell. As the heat rises, that water turns to steam, building pressure. Eventually, the shell can't contain it anymore - POP! Out comes the fluffy, delicious popcorn we all know and love.
