Without looking it up, just based on your intuition, which do you reckon weighs more?
When I make my popcorn tomorrow I’m going to test this - so time for you to get your guesses in. If it helps my method involves 1tsp of oil per 25g of kernels.
Ok so here’s the weight of the kernels. The weight of the kernels with oil - and the weight of everything that came out of the the container after popping. The popped corn weighs more than the kernels but less than the kernels and oil before popping.

I assume therefore that the loss of water outweighs the absorption of oil - and if I’d air-popped the whole thing would have lost weight but alas don’t have the equipment to test this
