You can have different colors that create patterns based on the type and flavor of the popcorn. You can have kettle corn, cheddar cheese, buttered, white cheddar,  caramel, plain, etc.

You can have tins of popcorn that separate them into different flavor patterns, or tins that are a pattern into themselves.

Some popcorns can include unhealthy ingredients, such as the type of butter being used, that can be harmful to those consuming it. It can be bad to consume this type of popcorn in large amounts. Some could say that there are healthier types of popcorn that have healthier ingredients and butter(s), but lack in taste. 

Also, it seems wrong to eat popcorn outside of an “entertainment” setting, such as when watching a movie or playing a game. Popcorn is not a substitute for a meal, although some could have it be.

According to the USDA:
Corn can be considered either a grain or a vegetable, based on when it is harvested. Corn that is harvested when fully mature and dry is considered a grain.  Popcorn is harvested when mature, so it is considered to be a whole grain.

However, after delving further it became apparent that in years past a particular ingredient, diacetyl, has come under fire. Present in microwave popcorn, this additive was responsible for the over the top buttery flavor. However, it was also responsible for multiple cases of ‘popcorn lung’ in popcorn factory workers, consumers, and those exposed to the vapors. After several lawsuits the additive was removed and new substitutes took its place. The substitutes are no better/healthier than the initial ingredient and are still present in current microwavable popcorn. This begs the question of why use an additive at all? Isn’t there a healthier alternative? Is there a means by which we can further regulate the substances used not only in popcorn but other foods? What other things are we ingesting that are harmful to our bodies? For me this research further solidifies not only my thinking that air-popped is substantially healthier but also my dislike for popcorn in general.]]> 2020-07-18 16:55:19 UTC https://padlet.com/Arynn_Rasmussen/4dw3dxs9sel5lrtk/wish/657478581 I choose details.

  • Popcorn kernels are made up of 3 main parts: the germ, endosperm, and pericarp or hull.
  • While the hull is typically white or yellow, it can be red, black, or a variety of other colors.

    The outer “shell” is called the hull. The endosperm inside the hull has a 14-20% moisture content, which is needed to “pop” effectively. When the kernel is heated, this moisture causes steam to build up and the kernel expands and cracks its hull.  The kernel expands anywhere from 20 to 50 times its original size.  The kernel must get to an internal temperature of at least 356 degrees and an internal pressure of 135 psi in order to pop.  A popped kernel of popcorn is called a flake.

The design of the popcorn kernels is what allows it to pop. Inside each kernel there is a seed for a new corn plant, water, and starch (food for the seed during germination)  moisture turns to steam and pops the kernel. When the kernel is heated the water undergoes a phase change and turns into steam which increases the pressure inside the kernel. With increased pressure the kernel explodes and turns itself inside out.]]> 2020-07-31 16:00:11 UTC https://padlet.com/Arynn_Rasmussen/4dw3dxs9sel5lrtk/wish/666684758 Kimberly Moir https://padlet.com/Arynn_Rasmussen/4dw3dxs9sel5lrtk/wish/666702126 There have been many changes to popcorn over time, including how it has been cooked, how the knowledge of popcorn has been spread, flavors, etc. It would be interesting for students to predict the future and see if they can come up with new ways to cook it, invent flavors, etc.
