It actually can. You should stay away from it because it is hard to get out but if you must eat it then all you have to do is be very careful and make sure that you brush right after you eat! Hope this helped!

Little is known about the origin of popcorn seeds or any other type of maize, except that it most likely evolved into its current state in Mesoamerica. There are theories that suggest that it evolved from other existing plants to which it shares some genetic similarities. I am attaching a link to the Wikipedia entry for Maize that may answer this question from a strictly genetic standpoint. From a cultural standpoint, the residents of Mesoamerica, and later on, residents of all other countries in the world that started growing corn, began breeding maize for certain traits. While it is not certain what event led to the realization that popcorn could be produced from maize, it is evident that certain types of maize produce better popcorn than others. This may have been the result of breeding by natives of Mesoamerica. Popping corn "ears" that are 5600 years old have been found in New Mexico.

Popcorn is produced from zea mays, a type of corn that has a thin enough outer hull to allow for the corn to pop when heated. Like other starchy vegetables, popcorn is a rich source of carbohydrates.

Starches 101: Starches are a white chemical that all plants naturally produce. As a polysaccharide, starches, which are a type of carbohydrate, break down into glucose in the body, which provides fuel for your body's activities and is especially important for brain function. A 1-cup serving of popcorn has 6.2 grams of carbohydrate, which becomes glucose in your body after it is digested.

Resistant Starch: Popcorn contains type one resistant starch, which is found in the cell walls of plants. It's present in seeds, beans and grains, including corn. As its name implies, resistant starch resists digestion, so it passes through to your gut primarily undigested, providing a source of nutrition for the healthy bacteria that lives in your digestive tract. In addition to providing fuel for your gut's bacteria, resistant starch may also help keep your insulin levels steady, reducing spikes in blood sugar.

Popcorn was invented in North America by the Native Americans. When Pilgrims came over on the Mayflower the Indians taught them how to make popcorn, which was by putting maize (corn) in a pot or pan and putting it over a fire. The corn would then pop, creating the delicious snack that we love today.

I believe it was somewhat of an accident. Kernals of corn got into the heat of a fire and the water that boiled inside of them made them explode. Other things were tried to see what would happen to them also.

Yes popcorn is a VERY delicious treat/snack my friend ! So pop a bag and watch a movie or something ! =]

Popcorn is my favorite food in the world. It tastes VERY good and it is healthy just as long as you didnt put too much botter or salt on it. My family cant live with popcorn! LOL

no one knows because each bag has a diffrent amount of popcorn like 1 bag could have 124 peices of popcorn the other bag could have 84 peices of popcorn

because its full of fiber and therefore it makes you feel like your satisfied. furthermore it keeps hunger at bay and is a low calorie, sodium free snack( given that there is more popcorn than butter).

Air popped popcorn is a good snack.

put food coloring in the stove popper right after putting the seeds in

Bread is typically cut into loaves and packed into plastic bags. The plastic bags are then secured with a twist tie to lock in freshness.

I answered this question for my science project and out of Orville Redenbacher's, Act II, and Pop-Secret, Orville Redenbacher's had the least amount of kernels left in average after three tests, but after eating nine bags of popcorn Pop-Secret definitely had the best taste. So, if your willing to spend the money buy Pop-Secret!

im not 100% sure but it is one of the healthiest snacks there is

The best way I have found to get tough ickiness out of my microwave is to put a bowl of water in there, incovered, nuke it for about 1-2 minutes to develop a good steam all over the inside, remove the bowl and wipe off the ickiness. Sometimes this needs to be done a couple times, especially after wonderful hubby cooks in there.

If stored in an air tight container it will stay fresh for weeks. As time goes on the popcorn kernels will lose more moisture and that will affect the way they pop. You can freeze these and they will stay fresh longer.

Nothing

Pop..Pop..Pop..Pop..Pop..Pop..Pop..Pop..Pop..Pop..pop..Pop..Pop..Pop..Pop..Pop..

You technically should not because the dentist says not to because it can break your brackets. But as long as you brush your teeth after it should be fine.

In 1981, General Mills introduced the first microwave popcorn under their Pillsbury brand. This popcorn needed to be stored in the freezer prior to popping. Later that year, the engineer that worked on the Pillsbury popcorn project, James Watkins, left General Mills and started his own company called the Golden Valley Microwave Foods company. He introduced his own microwave popcorn called Act I. After he figured out how to make the popcorn and oils shelf stable, he patented his new microwave popcorn invention and re-released it as Act II in 1984.

Narrowing the most popular down to one brand would most likely be a topic of debate. A top five can most likely be easily done.

* Orville Redenbacher's * Pop Secret * Poppycock * Jiffy Pop * Act II Seasonally, there is also the brand Boy Scout's are famous for, Trail's End. For a list of more companies, see the related link below.

The hot air inside the popper heats up moisture inside the kernel of popcorn and it explodes, creating popcorn.
