Today day is January 19 Popcorn Day observed every year, who didn’t like popcorn, and especially when you watch TV or in Movie Theater watching a movie with your friend and family.
Popcorn started becoming popular in the United States in the middle 1800s. The kids at a school in Hebron USA unleashed their creativity in math’s class made popcorn prisms and the junior band learned the ‘Popcorn Prelude’. Americans consume billions of quarts of popcorn a year, more than any other country in the world.
Popcorn has been around for centuries. It is one of six main varieties of corn. (The others are pod, sweet, flour, dent, and flint.)
Depending on how it is prepared and cooked, some consider popcorn to be a health food, while others caution against it for a variety of reasons. Air-popped popcorn is naturally high in dietary fibre and antioxidants, low in calories and fat, and free of sugar and sodium. This can make it an attractive snack to people with dietary restrictions.
Popcorn can also have non-food applications, ranging from holiday decorations to packaging materials. There are various techniques for popping corn. Along with prepackaged popcorn, which is generally intended to be prepared in a microwave oven, there are small home appliances for popping corn. These methods require the use of minimally processed popping corn. (With material from Wikipedia)
