popped corn
Exploded maize snack
Popped corn is corn kernels that have been heated until their moisture turns to steam and bursts the hull, creating the light, fluffy snack.
The term is slightly more formal or old-fashioned than the single word popcorn, which dominates casual usage: a bucket of popped corn at the movies.
