How to explode popcorn with a gas stove

First, take a small amount of corn about 100g. Rub a little peanut oil around the pot, pour in corn kernels, cover the pot, gently shake the pot on the gas stove and listen to the sound of jumping. After the sound is over, pour out the popped popcorn.

As a snack food, popcorn has always been loved by people, and it has also become one of the necessary snacks for couples to watch movies and date. Traditional popcorn only adds salt and a little melted cream, or is wrapped in sweet caramel. But now there are many unexpected changes in popcorn, and new kinds of popcorn emerge one after another, such as fruit-flavored popcorn, mustard popcorn and chocolate popcorn. ?

The main raw materials of popcorn are corn, sugar and oil. The finished popcorn contains about 50%~70% carbohydrate (including starch and sugar in corn), 20%~30% fat and 3%~9% protein.

Popcorn is a high-calorie food because it is high in fat and sugar, especially in saturated fat. In addition, high-temperature heating will destroy water-soluble vitamins and even produce some carcinogens, so it is not a healthy food. Popcorn sold in general cinemas may also have the risk of excessive sweeteners and pigments, and even the packaging may contain fluorescent whitening agents, which is considered to be a food safety hazard.

However, compared with staple foods such as polished rice and white flour, popcorn is rich in minerals and dietary fiber that urbanites often lack. Because there is no need to put salt, the sodium content of popcorn is not high compared with other snacks. So theoretically, if there is steamed popcorn without oil, it should be regarded as a healthy whole grain food, but the nutrition point is still not as good as steamed old corn.
