Popcorn, also known as popping corn, is a special variety of corn (Zea mays everta). Each kernel, in other words corn seed, contains a tiny drop of water. When it is heated, the water expands causing the seed to explode and flip inside out. In the US popcorn is mostly grown in Nebraska, Indiana and now increasingly in Texas. Native Americans first discovered popcorn thousands of years ago in Mexico. It was popped in China during the Song Dynasty as well as in Sumatra and India long before Columbus reached America. In 1948 and 1950, anthropologist Herbert Dick and botanist Earle Smith discovered ears of popcorn in Mexico. The size varied from a few millimeters to about two inches and was carbon dated to be about 5,600 years old. Hernando Cortes invaded Mexico in 1519 and first saw popcorn when he met the Aztecs. Aztecs used popcorn as food and decoration on headdresses, necklaces and ornaments. Around 1612, French explorers around the Great Lakes met Iroquois who used heated sand in a pottery vessel to make popcorn. Colonial housewives served popcorn with sugar and cream for breakfast. Some colonists used a cylinder of thin sheet-iron that revolved on an axle in front of the fireplace to make popped corn. In 1885, Charles Cretors of Chicago, Illinois, invented the first popcorn machine. Street vendors were soon pushing steam or gas-powered poppers through fairs, parks, and expositions. Today much of the popcorn you buy at movies and fairs is popped in machines manufactured by the Cretors family. Americans eat more than 33 billion kilograms of popcorn a year, an average of 30 kilograms per person per year. As the result of an elementary school project, popcorn became the official state snack food of Illinois. January 19 is National Popcorn Day, and October is National Popcorn Month. 15.
