How is popcorn being made? The popcorn is a type of flint corn. These corns have very hard outer shells that are call the kernels. Corns are also very starchy inside. You have to dry roast the corns in a specific way to make them pop out.

The reason why is that water always expends and furthermore with the corresponding pressure holding against the starch when the corn is being heated.
