Each October, the Popcorn Board sponsors National Popcorn Poppin’ Month. Not all corn kernels pop; only the Zea Mays Everta corn can become popcorn.
Popcorn has been around for about 4,000 years, but it wasn’t until 1519 that Europeans discovered it. Cortes got his first sight of popcorn when he invaded Mexico and came into contact with the Aztecs. Popcorn was an essential food for the Aztec Indians, who also used popcorn to decorate ceremonial headdresses, necklaces, and ornaments on statues of their gods, including Tlaloc, the god of rain and fertility.
Today, it is a favorite snack the world over. Americans consume some 16 billion quarts yearly, or 51 quarts per man, woman, and child.
There are so many ways to eat this healthy natural snack, and they’ve provided over 50 recipes with pictures to stimulate your imagination and taste buds here:
