Why do we eat popcorn at the movies?
Soft percussion and a toasty scent mark the mesmerizing metamorphosis of tough seeds into cloud-like puffs, giving birth to the enchanting world of popcorn-making. But how did this whimsical food come to be? The story takes us back to the ancient Indigenous people in what is now southern Mexico, who began selectively breeding a tall grass called teosinte around 9,000 years ago. Teosinte originally bore between 5 and 12 small kernels, each encased in a hard shell known as a pericarp. Some of these kernels had a fascinating characteristic: upon reaching a certain temperature, they would burst into a spectacular explosion. The magic behind popcorn lies in the tightly sealed water and starch within the pericarp. When heated, the moisture transforms into steam, causing the solid starch to turn into a gel-like substance. The internal pressure finally overcomes the pericarp's resistance, leading to a joyous burst – the steam and starch expand to form a foam that swiftly cools and dries in the air, releasing the delightful aroma of popcorn.
