Americans eat approximately 17 billion quarts of popcorn annually, making the United States the world's largest popcorn consumer.

There are more than 30 different varieties of popcorn grown worldwide, with kernels ranging in color from white and yellow to red and blue.
A single acre of popcorn plants can produce enough popcorn to fill 16 million popcorn bags, making it an incredibly efficient crop.

About Popcorn
How does popcorn pop, and why does it happen?
Popcorn pops because each kernel contains a small amount of water inside a hard shell. When heated to about 356 degrees Fahrenheit, the water turns to steam and builds pressure inside the kernel. Eventually, the pressure becomes so great that the shell explodes, turning the kernel inside out and creating that fluffy white treat we love.
Where did popcorn originally come from?
Popcorn originated in the Americas, with evidence suggesting it was cultivated and eaten by indigenous peoples in Mexico and Peru thousands of years ago. Archaeological findings show popcorn was used in ceremonies and celebrations. When Europeans arrived in the New World, they discovered this amazing snack and eventually brought it back to Europe.
What makes popcorn a healthy snack choice?
Popcorn itself is very healthy because it's a whole grain made from corn. It's naturally low in calories, high in fiber, and contains beneficial nutrients. The key to keeping it healthy is what you add to it: air-popped popcorn with light salt or no salt is much better than versions loaded with butter, caramel, or excessive seasonings.
Why is popcorn associated with movies and theaters?
Popcorn became popular at movie theaters during the Great Depression in the 1930s. While other businesses struggled, popcorn was cheap to produce and profitable to sell. Theater owners realized selling popcorn could save their businesses. Today, it remains the top-selling movie snack, making the combination of popcorn and movies iconic worldwide.
How much popcorn can a single kernel produce?
A single popcorn kernel can expand to about 40 to 50 times its original size when it pops. This remarkable transformation happens in just a fraction of a second. A small handful of unpopped kernels can quickly fill a large bowl with fluffy popcorn, which is why it's such an efficient and economical snack to make.
What are some creative and unusual popcorn flavors around the world?
Popcorn flavors vary dramatically by culture and region. In Japan, people enjoy soy sauce and seaweed flavored popcorn. Italy offers truffle and parmesan versions. Mexico features chili and lime combinations. Some creative modern flavors include sriracha, dill pickle, cookies and cream, and even wasabi. This versatile snack adapts to any cuisine's favorite tastes.
