Is Popcorn Corn Free?
AvoidNo. Popcorn is made by heating up corn kernels. The "pop" you hear is the kernel skin breaking under the pressure from the added heat.
Popcorn and the Corn Free Diet
Popcorn is a type of corn kernel that expands and puffs up when heated. The process involves heating the kernels until the moisture inside turns into steam, causing the kernel's hull to explode and the starch inside to inflate. This results in the fluffy texture that popcorn is known for. It is often served salted, buttered, or flavored with various seasonings.
