Popcorn: The Backstory

Popcorn was one of the first edible forms of corn and became a beloved American snack alongside peanuts, both known for their extra CRUNCH! Though popcorn wasn’t widely popular until the late 1800s, it quickly gained traction, sold by vendors on trains, at public events, and eventually in movie theaters. It became the first concession food and was even used as a cereal (yes, with milk and sugar!), as a sandwich filling, and as a garnish for soups and salads. Don’t hesitate to explore its delicious versatility!
