In their preparation, they make a popping sound because their kernels have a hard moisture-sealed hull and a dense starchy filling which allows pressure to build inside the kernel until an explosive "pop" results. There are many flavors of popcorns. Here is a recipe for the Lemon flavour...
Ingredients
1/2 C. vegetable oil
3/4 C. popping corn
Zest of 1 lemon
Salt
2 T. lemon juice
2 T. melted butter
Method
In a large heavy pot, heat oil over high heat until the oil smokes. Add 1 kernel
popping corn and heat until kernel pops. Add rest of popping corn, cover pot, and
shake gently until corn starts to pop. Shake vigorously until popping subsides.
Remove from heat.
Mix lemon juice with melted butter. Toss popcorn with lemon zest, salt, and
butter/lemon juice. Serves 6
