National Popcorn Day!
17 January
National Popcorn Day is celebrated annually on January 19.
Fun Facts About Popcorn:
- Ancient Origins: Popcorn has been around for thousands of years. The oldest popcorn discovered dates back over 5,000 years and was found in caves in New Mexico.
- Pop Science: Popcorn kernels pop because of water trapped inside the kernel. When heated, the water turns to steam, creating pressure until the kernel bursts.
- Movie Theater Connection: Popcorn became a popular movie theater snack during the Great Depression because it was affordable and accessible. Today, it’s nearly synonymous with the cinema experience.
- Popcorn Capital: Indiana is often referred to as the “Popcorn Capital of the World” because it produces more popcorn than any other state in the U.S.
- Healthy Snack: Air-popped popcorn is low in calories and high in fiber, making it a great snack option when not loaded with butter and salt.
Whether you’re a fan of traditional buttered popcorn or adventurous gourmet flavors, National Popcorn Day is the perfect excuse to indulge!
