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 would discover it. Cortes got his first sight of popcorn when he invaded Mexico and came into contact with the Aztecs. Popcorn was an important food for the Aztec Indians, who also used popcorn as decoration for 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 a year, or 51 quarts per man, woman, and child.
Whether it’s with butter, chilies, vinegar or bar-b-que sauce, you’re sure to find a recipe that will make celebrating this month tasty!
