Popcorn is a beloved snack made from the kernels of maize, a variety of corn that bursts open when heated. This popping process transforms the hard kernel into a light, airy, and fluffy treat. Often enjoyed with salt, butter, or a variety of flavorings—from caramel to cheese—it’s a staple at movie nights, fairs, and snack counters worldwide.
