It’s National Popcorn Day! Americans eat about 16 billion
quarts of popcorn each year (about 51 quarts per person), which makes it
one of the most popular snacks in the country. It is also one of the
oldest.
Popcorn has been around for centuries. It is one of six main
varieties of corn. (The others are pod, sweet, flour, dent, and flint.)
Popcorn originated in Mexico, but eventually made its way north. In
1948, archaeologists in the state of New Mexico discovered ancient
popcorn ears that were at least 5,600 years old! The Native Americans
(in both North and South America) popped their corn by throwing it on
hot stones over a fire.
Today, we rely heavily on microwaveable popcorn, which was introduced in the 1980s. To celebrate National Popcorn Day, make your favorite kind of popcorn and enjoy it while watching a movie with your friends!
