Ever wondered why is it so....???
Anyways.... Right now you just need to grab a bowl of pop-corn and READ THIS....
Corn is a generic term to describe fruit of cereal plants. Popping corn is just one of the many varieties of maize grown commercially.
The bulk of tissue within a grain of corn is called the endosperm. Endosperm is the specialised storage tissue providing nutrients for the embryo when seed germinates. It is also a source of carbohydrates.
In pop-corn, the outer part of the endosperm is hard but the centre is soft. When the corn is heated, the water in the central part turns to steam causing the seed to burst.
This is the pop-sound we hear. And this bursting results in the white, puffy treat....
... And see what all happens in those three minutes... !!!
