Old maids are stale popcorn. Without the water inside, they won't pop. Try storing your popcorn in an airtight container.
Salty Good Stale Greasy Expensive Hot
Popcorn has a higher water content than dried corn of other strains.
Yes. Higher temperatures will cause it to stale more quickly and will dry out the popcorn faster, making it pop less. That is why people keep there popcorn in cupboards and not in a heated area. Also if you have noticed in the winter the popcorn pops less usually because you can have the heater on in your house.
If it's not stale or contaminated in any way, yes. If it's stale, it won't pop very well.
Yes it does. If you put 3 bags of popcorn in a fridge, a freezer, and at room temperature and then cook them, the popcorn stored in the fridge has the most popcorn popped. The freezer has the least. You can't make popcorn too hot or too cold which is why the fridge is best. For minor evidence that this is true, I did this experiment myself.
i founed some popcorn that was seven years past but cooked ,however i didnt eat it as it smelt really past it! after expiary for popcorn 3 years is the recommmended.
It's probably stale. If the water inside each kernel drys out, it won't pop.
The homophone for "stale" is "stale," as in when two or more words sound the same but have different meanings.
You could try popping it. Usually you can tell very quickly, because if the kernels are too old, they won't pop very well. For microwave popcorn, the kernels will remain at the bottom of the bag. Popcorn has a shelf life of approximately two years. After this, it loses moisture and can become stale. It can also expire if the kernels are not stored properly. Popcorn dries out. The tiny bit of moisture inside the kernel is what causes it to pop. Without the moisture, the kernel remains.
