How old should a child be to eat popcorn?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It honestly depends on the child. Does the child have the majority of their teeth in the back of their mouth? If they don't, they aren't ready because they can't chew the popcorn. By age 2 or so, the average child has enough teeth to do the job. The next question is how does the child approach food? If the answer is tentative/cautious then it will probably be alright to introduce the food. If the child is a "fast gulper" or a "mouth stuffer" then the introduction of popcorn or like foods will require close supervision. Be calm and be ready. Most of the time the child will handle the situation. If they can't, that is where the parent comes in.

How many calories in air popped popcorn?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The answer to this question varies on the oil one uses. The popcorn lists the calories in uncooked measurements. Usually 1/4 cup uncooked is one serving. Add the information off of the oil or margerine etc. you are popping your corn in. Usually 1 Tablespoon is enough to cook your popcorn. This amount normally is about 100 calories depending on what you are using. If you heat more margerine or butter to pour on top of your popcorn after it is cooked add that amount in as well. Spices and herbs are free!

How high can popcorn pop?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

Approximately 2,500.

I know this because I had to figure out about how much popcorn to buy for a project that used the kernels to show how many people there were in a certain population in our state.

A microwave uses high frequency and high energy electromagnetic waves to heat food. The electromagnetic energy transfers to the food molecules making them move faster and they release the energy as heat when the molecules return to their normal state.

Why does a popcorn pop?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.
