Popcorn or popping corn is a type of corn, which explodes from the kernel and puffs up when heated. Corn popping was originally discovered by Native Americans, but became popular as a snack food during the United States Great Depression, especially in movie theatres. Corn is able to pop because, unlike other grains, its kernels have a hard moisture-sealed hull and a dense starchy filling. This allows pressure to build inside the kernel until an explosive "pop" results. Some strains of corn are now cultivated specifically as popping corns. There are many techniques for popping corn. Commercial large-scale popping machines were invented by Charles Creators in the late 19th Century. Many types of small-scale home methods for popping corn also exist, with the most popular being prepackaged microwavable popcorn. As a snack food, popcorn has both advocates and detractors. Some consider it to be a health food, while others caution against it for a variety of reasons. Popcorn can also have non-food applications, ranging from holiday decorations to packaging materials.

On my popcorn maker you can't put salt or sugar in with the corns, and if I add them afterwards it doesn't stick to the popcorn. Maple syrup works, and butter, but how else can I flavour it?

I want to have a popcorn party tomorrow. Any ideas on what kind of popcorn I should get? Asked by PatsFanDiane - Thu Feb 14 20:18:23 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. One thing you could do is just buy popcorn kurnels, put them in a paper bag, and microwave them until they all pop. Then some salt and you're done! It's not as good as buttered popcorn obviously, but if I have a few friends over to watch a movie, I make it and we all love it! I hope this helps! :) -Nina Answered by Nina - Thu Feb 14 20:24:25 2008 Can you pop popcorn in a microwave using a paper bag?
Q. Not the corn you buy already in the microwave bag, but regular popcorn that you would ordinarily pop in a popper. Can you pop that in a bag in the microwave? How do you do it? Asked by crao_craz - Tue Mar 21 01:17:15 2006 - - 10 Answers - 1 Comments A. Yes. Place corn kernels in a bag and close the bag top and microwave. You can wet your hands and rub kernels between your hands to lightly moisten them (not wet) and then you will see better results..
