Yes, there is water in a popcorn kernel. Each kernel contains a small amount of moisture, typically around 13-14%, stored within the starchy interior. When heated, this water turns into steam, creating pressure inside the kernel until it eventually pops, resulting in the fluffy popcorn we enjoy.
What else can I help you with?
What happens to popcorn kept in a heated area?
When popcorn is heated, the water inside the kernal begins to boil and eventually the pressure pops/explodes the kernal into a piece of popcorn.
What is inside an unpopped popcorn kernal?
moisture which makes the kernels turn into popcorn
Why do popcorn kernels actually pop?
The kernal's outer shell breaks when the germ inside the kernal turns water and heats into steam, the pressure bursts the kernal and the internal starch flares out making the white fluffy portion.

We could smell the fresh scent of popcorn kernals.
Why does old popcorn pop less kernals than new popcorn?
Popcorn pops because when u heat it up water inside the kernals evaporates and expands causing the kernal to explode. Old popcorn has less moisture inside of it causing less kernals to pop.
How does microwavable popcorn relate to gas laws?
An increase in the temperature of gas causes an increase in volume. At the center of a popcorn kernel there is a small pocket filled with water. When the microwave is turned on it releases microwaves which rapidly vibrate the water molecules in the center of the kernel. This rapid vibration causes the water in the center of the kernal to heat up and thus expand. When the pressure is too great to be containd the kernal explodeds and "pops".
Where is the company KERNAL located?
Kernal is part of the Ubuntu operating system run by Linux. Kernels is a speciality popcorn store that is located all throughout the provinces of Canada.
When popcorn pops?
When the water inside the kernal turns to steam, the steam cannot escape through the kernal's hard shell, so the kernal explodes like a hand grenade. The liquid starch inside spews in all directions, and is instantly cooked by the steam into the puffy, delightful balls of goodness we all enjoy munching at the movies. Water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit or 100 degrees centigrade, so whatever brings the kernal up to that internal temperature without burning it will make the kernal pop.
Why do popcorn kernels weigh more than popcorn?
Popcorn pops because the small amount of water in the kernel vaporizes as it heats up. The resulting popped corn weighs less than the original kernel because the weight of the water is no longer in it. Also, the resulting of the steam popping open the kernel the steam loosens and softens the dense carbohydrate part (the white fluffy part) of the corn kernel itself which decreases the density of the carbohydrate (white fluffy part), and less density decreases the weight. :)
Why does pop-corn pop?
because there is air in the popcorn kernal the heat pushes the popcorn in so it squeezes the air out and pops.
