The sound of a popcorn kernel popping is more than just heat.
Inside each kernel is a small amount of water stored within a hard shell. As the kernel is heated, the water turns into steam, creating pressure inside. Once the pressure reaches a critical point, the shell bursts open.
This sudden release of pressure turns the kernel inside out, resulting in that fluffy popcorn we love. This unique process is a fascinating example of how heat and pressure can transform food into a delightful snack.
