Some Poppin’ Facts:

· How does Popcorn Pop?
Each popcorn kernel contains starch, a carbohydrate, which has a large water holding capacity. When you heat the popcorn, the water becomes a vapor and bursts through the fruit case of the kernel. And that’s how popcorn pops!

· Hull-less popcorn is just that—hull-less! Nothing to get caught in your teeth!

· Popcorn is a type of maize (or corn), a member of the grass family.

· The scientific name for popcorn is Zea Mays Everta.

· There are six types of maize (corn)—pod, sweet, flour, dent, flint, and popcorn—only popcorn pops.

· Popcorn is a whole grain—making it a very healthy snack!

· Most US popcorn is grown in the Midwest, primarily in Ohio, Nebraska, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, and Missouri.

· The peak period for popcorn sales is in the fall.

· Popcorn can jump up to 3 feet in the air.

· Popcorn pops best between 400 and 600 degrees.
