July 20: Enjoy a Cold Treat this Summer on National Ice Cream Day!

Ice cream has been around for thousands of years. As early as 400BC, the Ancient Persians would eat a mixture of snow and concentrated grape juice, while in the 10th century Arabs started to use milk sweetened with sugar, fruit or nuts as the main ingredients to make ice cream, creating modern ice cream.

Ice cream has been highly popular in America for many years, and in 2011 the average person consumed almost 20 pints, or four and a half gallons, of ice cream. And, according to national research, the cities with the highest ice cream consumption are Portland in Oregon, St. Louis in Missouri, and Seattle in Washington.

Did you know that vanilla and chocolate are the two most popular of all ice cream flavors? Thanks to the sunny days and happy faces that are associated with ice cream, there has been a great deal of artistic food photography concerned with this sweet treat.
