Popcorn

• Have you ever wondered why popcorn pops?
  Popcorn has more moisture inside each kernel than
  regular corn. As the kernel is heated, the water
  inside turns into steam. Pressure begins to build
  inside until the hard coat on the outside of the
  kernel explodes, turning inside-out. If you are
  careful about how you prepare it, popcorn turns
  out to be a very healthy snack-higher in protein
  than ice cream or potato chips, without the fat
  and sugar. Air popping is the best way to prepare
  popcorn because it doesnt require any oil this
  keeps the popcorn low in calories. To add a
  little zest to your snack, forget the butter or
  caramel flavors. Instead try melting a few
  tablespoons of peanut butter and stirring that
  into your popped corn. Or you can add sunflower,
  pumpkin, or sesame seeds.
