History of National Popcorn Day

Did you know that the corn we eat and the corn we pop are two different varieties of maize? In fact, the corn you'd find on your dinner table is most likely unable to pop at all! Only one variety of corn is able to become popcorn: Zea mays everta. This particular corn variety has small ears, and the kernels burst when exposed to dry heat.

In 1948, small heads of Zea mays everta were discovered by Herbert Dick and Earle Smith in the Bat Cave of west central New Mexico. Ranging from smaller than a penny to about two inches, the oldest Bat Cave ears were about 4,000 years old. Several individually popped kernels were also discovered, which have since been carbon dated and shown to be approximately 5,600 years old. There's also evidence of early use of popcorn in Peru, Mexico, and Guatemala, as well as other places in Central and South America.

Aztecs used popcorn to decorate their clothes, create ceremonial embellishments, and also for nourishment. Native Americans have also been found to consume and utilize popcorn in their day to day lives. In a cave in Utah, thought to be inhabited by Pueblo Native Americans, popcorn has been found that dates back to over 1,000 years ago. French explorers who traveled to the new world discovered popcorn being made by the Iroquois Natives in the Great Lakes region. As colonists moved around North America, and as the USA came to be, many people adopted popcorn as a popular and healthy snack.

National Popcorn Day - Survey Results

According to one of the top Food Marketing Agencies:

There's no doubt about it, Americans love popcorn. So much so, that we consume over 15 billion quarts of popcorn annually - which is about 45 quarts per man, woman, and child. It's one of the most wholesome and economical foods available to Americans and considered a healthy snack to indulge in. 70% is eaten at home with un-popped popcorn accounting for approximately 90% of sales for home consumption, and about 30% is eaten outside of the home (theaters, stadiums, schools, etc).

Factors influencing popcorn quality include kernel moisture and expansion ratio, processing procedures, home storage, and home handling. To achieve the best pop-ability, the moisture content for popcorn should be from 13% to 14.5% - 13.5% is considered ideal. A moisture content over or under these percentages greatly reduces pop-ability. Processors consider the minimum expansion ratio for good popcorn to be 35 to 38 to one. However, some of today's improved hybrids will expand over 40 times.

On a diet and looking for the perfect low calorie snack? Well, we hope you like popcorn. Compared to most snack foods, popcorn is extremely low in calories.

National Popcorn Day FAQs

Is there a National Popcorn Day?

There absolutely is! National Popcorn Day comes around every year on January 19. Put on a movie, get nice and comfy, and dig in to your favorite bag of buttery popped goodness!

Why do we celebrate National Popcorn Day?

Popcorn has been around forever and has been used for everything from a delicious snack, to jewelry, to art! It's about time that popcorn got its credit for being so versatile, convenient, and reliable.

Why does corn pop?

In the middle of popcorn kernels is a tiny droplet of water surrounded by a hard shell called a hull. As the popcorn comes into contact with dry heat, the water turns into steam which builds pressure inside the kernel. When the hull can no longer contain the pressure, the kernel explodes - essentially turning inside out to expose and inflate its soft, starchy interior.

I prefer salty popcorn a little more, I'm not saying I don't like sweet popcorn, I love it, but I prefer salty popcorn a little more, this because sometimes I eat so much sweet. On the other hand, with salty ones I can eat whatever I want until my stomach hurts from eating so much :)
