October 17: Have Popping Time with Popcorn on National Popcorn Month!

Here at Dishfolio, we were surprised to learn that popcorn has been eaten for many thousands of years. Remnants of popcorn that have been found suggest that popcorn may have been consumed in the area now known as Peru as early as 4700 BC!

Since then, popcorn has developed greatly, and is eaten all over the world. When attending the cinema, movie theater popcorn is a popular choice of snack. Likewise, e-packaged unpopped corn has been designed to be popped in a microwave, so that people can enjoy popcorn at home.

Did you know that, during the Second World War, the popcorn industry was one of the few industries that actually grew? If you'd like to try your hand at popping corn yourself, you can buy kitchen appliance designed for exactly that purpose, and there are lots of online food recipes, which give ideas for flavorings.

Healthier Homemade Popcorn

Preparing homemade popcorn is a time-honored tradition that shouldn’t be forgotten, in spite of microwave versions that might be easier. Popping your own also allows you to control all of the ingredients. This recipe calls for organic corn kernels and coconut oil, which is super good for you due to its antifungal and antibacterial properties and can even help you maintain a healthy weight. It’s a great oil to cook with as well, because it tolerates high heat without going rancid.
