Popcorn, called Solam in some regions of South India, is made from special corn kernels that pop when heated. The heat causes the moisture inside the kernel to turn into steam, creating pressure that makes the kernel explode and puff up. Popcorn is light, crispy, and crunchy, and is often eaten as a snack. It can be flavored with salt, butter, sugar, or spices.<div><br></div><ul><li>Popcorn is commonly used for:</li><li><br></li><li>Snacks at home or in theaters</li><li><span style="display: inline !important;">Festivals and fairs</span></li><li><span style="display: inline !important;">Street food</span></li></ul>
