Popcorn

Did you know -

Popcorn has a very long and varied history. Historians believe that corn whose kernels could be popped was first cultivated around 5000 B.C.E in Mexico. Archeologists have found evidence of first popcorn maker – a utensil with holes and a handle – dating back to 400 C.E. in Peru

In many indigenous cultures, corn and popcorn were used for religious purposes and decoration.

popcorn is the official snack food of the State of Illinois, United States.

Popcorn has more protein than any other cereal grain. It also has more iron than eggs or roast beef. It has more fibre than pretzels or crisps.

Answer Below....

Here's a little poem about popcorn -

Sweet or salty

Buttery or dry

Popcorn in the pan

Watch it fly

It jumps in the air

Like fleas on a dog

Teeny tiny treats

Albino frogs

But some don't leap

Some don't pop

Kernels of corn

That are a flop

They lay there and hide

Hidden in the feast

Camouflaged rocks

Teeth breaking beasts !
