Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

Popcorn or popping corn is a type of corn which explodes from the kernel and puffs up when heated. Special varieties are grown to give improved popping yield. Some wild types will pop, but the cultivated strain is Zea mays averta, which is a special kind of flint corn. The process of making popcorn was first discovered by Native Americans thousands of years ago.[1]

Popcorn was first discovered by the Native Americans, who believed that the popping noise was that of an angry god who escaped the kernel.[2]

During the Great Depression popcorn was comparatively cheap at 5-10 cents a bag and became popular. Thus, while other businesses failed the popcorn business thrived and became a source of income for some struggling farmers.[3] During World War II, sugar rations diminished candy production causing Americans to eat three times more popcorn than they had before.[4]

At least six localities (all in the United States) claim to be the "Popcorn Capital of the World" Valparaiso, Indiana; Van Buren, Indiana; Marion, Ohio; Ridgway, Illinois; Schaller, Iowa; and North Loup, Nebraska. According to the USDA, most of the maize used for popcorn production is specifically planted for this purpose; most is grown in Nebraska and Indiana, with increasing area in Texas.[5]
