🔬 THE SCIENCE OF POPPING:
Why does popcorn pop? ONLY popcorn corn can do this!
1️⃣ Special hard hull (other corn = soft hull)
2️⃣ Water inside (13-14% moisture)
3️⃣ Heat → Water becomes steam
4️⃣ Steam pressure builds to 135 PSI
5️⃣ Hull can't hold anymore → BOOM! 💥
6️⃣ Starch expands 30-40 times!

Other corn types: Hull too soft → Steam escapes → No pop!
