“popped corn”
.
-“popcorn” is a variety of ‘corn kernel’, which forcefully ‘expands’ and ‘puffs up’ + ‘heated’-
(a popcorn kernel’s strong ‘hull’ contains the seed’s hard, starchy ‘endosperm’ with ’14-20% moisture’, which turns to ‘steam’ as the ‘kernel’ is ‘heated’)
(the ‘pressure’ continues building until it exceeds the hull’s ability to contain it)
(the kernel ‘ruptures’ and forcefully ‘expands’, allowing the contents to ‘expand’, ‘cool’, and finally ‘set’ in a ‘popcorn puff’ 20 to 50 times the size of the original kernel)
(some strains of ‘corn’ (taxonomized as zea mays) are cultivated specifically as ‘popping corns’)
(theΒ “zea maysΒ varietyΒ everta”Β (a special kind of ‘flint corn’) is the most common of these)
