00:00 All right, so let's talk about popcorn. When you heat up a kernel, a little bit of moisture inside turns into steam.
00:06 And because of the hull, aka the outer shell, the steam gets super pressurized and turns into a heat monster.
00:14 This heat monster melts the hard starch inside the kernel, making it all soft and squishy.
00:20 But here's where things get exciting.
00:22 Eventually, the pressure gets so intense that the hull can't take it anymore, and boom! It pops open.
00:29 The steam inside rushes out and makes the starch pop up like a balloon. And just like that,
00:35 you've got yourself a fluffy, delicious piece of popcorn.
00:38 Yum!
