1) Yini eyenza i-Popcorn Pop?Uhlamvu ngalunye lwe-popcorn luqukethe iconsi lamanzi eligcinwe ngaphakathi kwesiyingi sesitashi esithambile.(Yingakho ama-popcorn kudingeka aqukathe umswakama ongamaphesenti angu-13,5 kuya kwangu-14.) Isitashi esithambile sizungezwe uhlamvu oluqinile lwangaphandle.Njengoba uhlamvu lushisa, amanzi aqala ukwanda, futhi umfutho uyanda ngokumelene nesitashi esiqinile.Ekugcineni, le ndawo eqinile iyayeka, okwenza ama-popcorn "aqhume".Njengoba i-popcorn iqhuma, isitashi esithambile esingaphakathi ku-popcorn siyakhuphuka futhi siqhume, sikhiphe uhlamvu ngaphakathi.Isitimu esingaphakathi kwe-kernel siyakhululwa, futhi ama-popcorn ayaphuma!

2) Izinhlobo zama-Popcorn Kernels: Izinhlobo ezimbili eziyisisekelo zama-popcorn kernel "uvemvane" kanye "namakhowe".Uhlamvu lwevemvane lukhulu futhi luyaphaphazela lunamaphiko amaningi “aphuma kuhlamvu ngalunye.Izinhlamvu ze-Butefly ziwuhlobo oluvame kakhulu lwe-popcorn.I-kernel yamakhowe iminyene kakhulu futhi ihlangene futhi yakheke njengebhola.Izinhlamvu zamakhowe zilungele izinqubo ezidinga ukuphathwa kanzima kwezinhlamvu ezinjengokumboza.

3) Ukuqonda Ukunwetshwa: Ukuhlolwa kokunwetshwa kwe-pop kwenziwa nge-Cretors Metric Weight Volumetric Test.Lokhu kuhlolwa kubonwa njengokujwayelekile yimboni ye-popcorn.I-MWVT isilinganiso se-cubic centimeters yommbila okhiqiziwe ngegremu elingu-1 lommbila ongaphumi (cc/g).Ukufundwa kwama-46 ku-MWVT kusho ukuthi igremu elingu-1 lommbila ongavuthuluki liguqulwa libe ama-cubic centimeter angu-46 ommbila okhiqiziwe.Uma iphezulu inombolo ye-MWVT, iba nkulu ivolumu yommbila okhiqiziwe ngesisindo sommbila ongaphumi.

4) Ukuqonda Usayizi We-Kernel: Usayizi we-Kernel ulinganiswa nge-K/10g noma ama-kernel ngamagremu ayi-10.Kulokhu kuhlolwa amagremu ayi-10 wamaphophukhoni akalwa bese kubalwa izinhlamvu.Uma i-kernel iphezulu ibala usayizi we-kernel omncane.Ukunwetshwa kwama-popcorn akuthintwa ngokuqondile usayizi we-kernel.

5) Umlando we-Popcorn:

Nakuba kungenzeka ukuthi ama-popcorn adabuka eMexico, ayetshalwa eShayina, eSumatra naseNdiya eminyakeni eminingi ngaphambi kokuba uColumbus avakashele eMelika.

· Amadlebe amadala kakhulu ama-popcorn ake atholakala atholakala eMgedeni Welulwane osentshonalanga emaphakathi neNew Mexico ngo-1948 nango-1950. Asuka kokuncane kunopeni kuya kumayintshi angaba ngu-2, amadlebe amadala e-Bat Cave aneminyaka engaba ngu-5,600 ubudala.

· Emathuneni asogwini olusempumalanga yePeru, abacwaningi bathole izinhlamvu zamaphophu cishe eminyakeni eyinkulungwane ubudala.Lezi zinhlamvu zigcinwe kahle kangangokuthi zisazoqhuma.

· I-popcorn poppers yasendulo - imikhumbi engajulile enembobo phezulu, isibambo esisodwa kwesinye isikhathi esihlotshiswe ngesithombe esibaziwe njengekati, futhi kwesinye isikhathi sihlotshiswe ngezithombe eziphrintiwe kuwo wonke umkhumbi - zitholwe ogwini olusenyakatho yePeru nosuku. emuva ku-pre-Incan Mohica Culture cishe ngo-300 AD

· Ama-popcorn amaningi aneminyaka engu-800 edlule ayeqinile futhi azacile.Izinhlamvu ngokwazo zaziqinile.Ngisho nanamuhla, ngezinye izikhathi imimoya ivunguza izihlabathi zasogwadule zasemangcwabeni asendulo, iveze izikhwebu zombila obukeka usha futhi umhlophe kodwa osekungamakhulu eminyaka ukhona.

· Ngesikhathi abantu baseYurophu beqala ukuzinza “Ezweni Elisha,” u-popcorn nezinye izinhlobo zombila zase zisakazekele kuzo zonke izizwe zaboMdabu baseMelika eNyakatho naseNingizimu Melika, ngaphandle kwalezo ezisezindaweni ezisenyakatho naseningizimu yamazwekazi.Kwakutshalwa izinhlobo ezingaphezu kuka-700 zama-popcorn, kwasungulwa ama-popcorn amaningi anobukhazikhazi, futhi uphophoni wawugqokwa ezinweleni nasentanyeni.Bekukhona nobhiya we-popcorn osetshenziswa kakhulu.

· AboMdabu baseMelika bazoletha ama-popcorn “amasnacks” emihlanganweni namakoloni angamaNgisi njengophawu lokuthakasela ngesikhathi sezingxoxo zokuthula.

· Omama bamakhaya abangamakoloni baphakele u-popcorn noshukela nokhilimu ngesidlo sasekuseni — okusanhlamvu kwasekuseni “okukhukhumele” okudliwa abantu baseYurophu.Abanye abahlali bamakoloni babekhipha ummbila besebenzisa isilinda esincanyana se-ayina esizungeza i-asi ephambi kweziko njengekheji lezingwejeje.

· I-Popcorn yayidume kakhulu kusukela ngeminyaka yawo-1890s kuze kube Ukuwohloka Okukhulu Kwezomnotho.Abathengisi basemgwaqweni babevame ukulandela izixuku nxazonke, besunduza ama-popper anamandla egesi emibukisweni, emapaki kanye nemibukiso.
