Is there really water in popcorn kernels?
All popcorn contain a small amount of water. When the popcorn gets heated the water inside the popcorn kernel turns to steam. The steam then starts to pressure the kernel shell and soon bursts making the kernel inside out, and the soft stuff inside the kernel puffs.
When popcorn is popped what new material is formed?
When popcorn is popped, there is no new material formed. It pops due to the steam that is inside being explosively released. The heat absorbed by the starches (white stuff) causes it to liquefy. After the shell bursts open, the starch cools and then solidifies into the shape that you see.

Which popcorn takes up more room yellow or white?
Yellow popcorn comes in most corn kernel bags. Although it isn’t really yellow until you put butter on it, we define it as yellow because it is more yellow than “White” popcorn. White popcorn, the anomaly, comes from the bags of corn kernels that say “White Popcorn” on the label. Obviously, we define it as white because it is not yellow. Yellow popcorn pops larger but has more hulls. White popcorn has fewer hulls and is slightly sweeter.
