If the unpopped popcorn is too dry, it will not pop, as it is the pressure from steam building up inside the popcorn shell which makes it pop. To remoisten dried out popcorn one could try to put the popcorn in a plastic bag or airtight container in the fridge with some slices of raw potato. The moisture from the potato slices should then evaporate and get absorbed by the popcorn.

How does different brands of popcorn affect the unpopped kernels?
Popping ability it related to the toughness of the outer hull of the popcorn and the moisture content of the kernel. The best popping brands have a thinner outer shell and a higher moisture content. They have been hybridized to produce these qualities.
Does moisture content affect popcorn popping effectiveness?
Yes. I found that popping popcorn when it is very humid yields hardly popped kernels.
Why does popcorn have to pop?
moisture
Do different brands of popcorn leave different amounts of unpopped kernels?
Popcorn pops based on the moisture content held inside the kernel and yes does vary by brand, age of the kernels and storage times.
Is popcorn dense or not?
Popcorn is not dense, as it is primarily composed of starchy carbohydrates with a low moisture content. When popped, the kernels expand and create a light, airy snack.
What is inside an unpopped popcorn kernal?
moisture which makes the kernels turn into popcorn
Why you are doing initial moisture content critical moisture content and equilibrium moisture content test?
if we know initial moisture content of the object we can identify how much drying energy required for dry the same moist material. if it is a food material we have to reduce the moisture content upto certain level, otherwise it may be destroyed. if we know the initial moisture content of same food object, we can reduce its moisture content upto 10% of its initial moisture content.
What is the fat content of popcorn?
Plain unpopped popcorn is fat free.
Maximum bulking in sand and in what moisture content?
The maximum bulking of sand is in 13% to 14% moisture content. It's likely to be 13.8% moisture content.
What are two physical properties and two chemical properties of a bag of microwave popcorn before popping and after?
Physical properties of a bag of microwaveable popcorn are the mass of it, the color of it, the size of it, and the weight of it. Two chemical properties of a bag of microwavable popcorn are it changed from seeds to popcorn and it popped.
How does the storage temperature of popcorn affect the ratio of kernels popped?
The storage temperature of popcorn affects the ratio of kernels popped, because if you freeze the kernels, it messes with the moisture in the middle of the kernels. (The moisture is what heats up, causing the popcorn to explode.)But when the popcorn is stored at room temperature the moisture is not altered in any way, making it the BEST way to pop the kernel.
What are the types of Moisture content in coals?
free moisture inherent moisture
