The enchanting process of popcorn-making is marked by gentle percussion and a delightful aroma. But how did this whimsical food come to be? All the corn we consume today originated from a tall grass called teosinte, which Indigenous people in southern Mexico selectively bred about 9,000 years ago. Teosinte initially produced small kernels with hard shells, and some had the extraordinary ability to explode when heated. This popping phenomenon occurs when moisture and starch within the kernel turn into steam, creating pressure that eventually bursts the hard shell. The steam and starch expand, forming a foam that quickly cools and dries, releasing the enticing compounds responsible for popcorn's irresistible fragrance.
