Is popcorn red?
There are different colors of popcorn kernels. However once it is popped, most turn out as white popcorn as the colored kernel is blown into bits when it expands.
What does a popcorn kernel look like and how does that design contribute to the popping of the popcorn?
The kernel of pop corn is about one eighth to one quarter of an inch across and usually has a light brown covering. It's got a small point on one end. Inside the kernel is trapped a small amount of water. When the kernel is heated, the water gets hot and expands. When it builds up enough pressure it pops the kernel open and the white contents shows. That's when you salt, butter, and eat it.
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.
Is popcorn always white?
Yes popcorn is always white
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. :)
What is a simile fror popcorn?
The popcorn cracked like fireworks.
What is the best brand of microwave popcorn?
The air popcorn maker that make the best tasting popcorn is the 'Presto PopLite Hot Air Corn Popper' according to most of the reviews online, most reviewers say that it makes popcorn with the perfect crunchiness with very little non popped kernels and none burnt.
Does popcorn pop yellow or white?
It pops white. It is the butter that adds the yellow color to the popcorn.
What are some science fair projects including popcorn?
Here are a few ideas:Whichtype of popcorn leaves the fewest unpopped kernals? Does refridgerating popcorn kernals have an effect on how many kernals get popped in the microwave? Does freezing popcorn kernals have an effect on how many kernals get popped in the microwave?
Which will have less unpopped kernels yellow popcorn or white popcorn?
yellow.
Why does popcorn pop?
The physics of popcorn popping are quite interesting. In any popcorn popper you use (stove top, microwave or hot air) it works the same way:The popcorn kernel is a tough coated seed with a damp internal core of starchy materialAs it is heated the water in the inner part would like to boil but the pressure and containment of the kernel's coat prevents it from doing so.Eventually the pressure on the inside gets high enough to rupture the tough coatThe sudden release of pressure lets the water that was way over boiling point suddenly flash into steam (and taking up a lot more volume in the process)This expanding steam froths up the starch into the white popped corn then evaporates into the airthere is water inside that makes it expandThere is a certain amount of moisture in each kernel. When the moisture get heated it bursts open and makes an explosion which turns the hard outter shell inside out and the starch turns into the puffy part of the popcorn.When the popcorn goes into the microwave, it gets heated up. The water inside begins to boil, and pressure begins to build inside the kernel. Eventually, there is so much pressure, it tears itself inside out, through it's own shell, leaving the heated starch (outside of popcorn we can see) behind.Popcorn pops because the water inside the kennels heats up and bgins to steam. If the shell has no cracks in it the steam will not come out and it then becoms a pressure cooker inside the shell. The pressure then becomes to much for the shell and it pops into popcorn. Usually around 135 psi.
Why does a popcorn pop?
Within minutes, a teardrop-shaped kernel no larger than a pea can magically mushroom into a fluffy treat that's many times its original volume. The tasty secret: water. Each popcorn kernel contains a hard outer shell and a starchy inside surrounding a dab of water. When the kernels are heated to about 450 degrees Fahrenheit (232 degrees Celsius), the pocket of water turns into steam and expands within the tough casing. Like blowing up a balloon, as more and more steam forms, the pressure against the outer shell increases. When the shell can no longer contain the building pressure, it finally gives way with the classic pop. The kernel turns inside-out, revealing the softened starch that makes up the white spongy part of your favorite movie snack.
