Popcorn (Zea mays everta Sturt.) or
popping corn is corn which expands from the kernel and puffs up when heated.
A designer sandal is tipped over next to a carton of juicy strawberries, and a pearl necklace is carelessly tossed onto a bright box of Cheerios
popping out like a yield sign.
Now, a group of chemists claims to have found that the secret to better
popping is the crystalline structure of the kernel's hull.
