When the kernel's internal temperature reaches 400-460 degrees Fahrenheit, the moisture vaporizes and turns to steam, building up pressure inside the kernel. The kernel has starch inside which turns into soft Gelatin as it heats. Pressure builds up until the hull ruptures, and the kernel actually turns inside out. The gelatinized starch granules that have formed inside puff out.
